Bulk data

How to get everything.

There is no single archive yet. The fastest way to the whole snapshot is the API: list indicators with /api/v1/indicators, then fetch /api/v1/indicators/{slug}/download.csv for each. Please keep to the rate limit (120 requests per minute) and cache locally; the snapshot changes once a day at most. For a full copy of the database, write to the address below.

bash

# list indicators, then fetch each dataset
curl -s "https://www.countryatlas.co/api/v1/indicators" | jq -r '.items[].slug' | while read slug; do
  curl -s -o "$slug.csv" "https://www.countryatlas.co/api/v1/indicators/$slug/download.csv"; sleep 0.6
done
