GEOLENS

Chart, social-post and video maker with the world's data built in

The studio

Data is only data. GeoLens is the studio that turns it into something you can actually publish: a chart or a map, built in minutes, not wrangled in a spreadsheet.

25,000+
indicators tracked
3
open sources
daily
to weekly, per source

No account is needed to explore, chart or make a post. A free account downloads what you make, keeps it in Projects and follows the indicators and countries you care about.

Methodology

Every chart, map and post draws on indicators that sync from primary public sources (World Bank daily, IMF and Climate Watch weekly), and every reading keeps its provenance:

  • SOURCED: every figure records which source it came from, the data year, and when it was fetched.
  • OVERRIDE: an admin-applied correction can supersede the primary source. The original value and the reason are audited.
  • DERIVED: some indicators are calculated from base series (for example, per-capita transformations).

Historical series are stored per indicator per country per year. Forecast values (where available from the source) are marked as forecast in the chart display.

Missing values are shown explicitly: GeoLens does not impute or interpolate data. If a source does not report a value for a given country and year, that cell is blank rather than filled.

Sources

The public open-data sources the studio is built on:

WB
World Bank
GDP, population, trade, labour, and development indicators. The primary series for most macroeconomic indicators. Data via the World Bank Open Data API.
IMF
International Monetary Fund
World Economic Outlook forecasts and fiscal data, providing multi-year projections where World Bank historical series end.
CW
Climate Watch
Greenhouse-gas emissions and national climate commitments. Data via the Climate Watch / CAIT API.

All source data is open and freely available. GeoLens stores and displays it; it does not modify, sell, or redistribute the underlying datasets. See each source's own licensing terms for reuse conditions.

Found something wrong?

A figure that looks off, or an indicator that should be here and is not. Corrections are traceable: every reading records its source, its data year and when it was fetched, so a specific number is something we can actually chase.
