Make a chart from World Bank data
Open the World Bank exampleSkip the DataBank export and the spreadsheet. World Bank indicators are already loaded for every country: pick one and the countries, and the chart draws itself with its source and year.
What you get
- Every country, already loaded
- Indicators sync from the World Bank Open Data API every day, with IMF projections where World Bank series end.
- Source and year on the chart
- Each chart prints the publisher and the year of the latest reading, so a reader can trace the number.
- Chart or post
- Keep it as a live, embeddable chart, or turn it into a post for LinkedIn, Instagram or X.
- Nine shapes
- Line, area, bars, stacked bars, ranking, scatter, slope, small-multiple grid and table.
Questions
Do I need to download World Bank data first?
No. The indicators are built in and refresh daily. Search for one by name, such as GDP per capita or life expectancy, and pick the countries.
Which data is included besides the World Bank?
IMF projections and Climate Watch emissions. The indicator catalogue lists every series with its source.
How do I cite the chart?
The citation is already on it: the publisher and the year of the latest reading. Keep that line when you repost.
