|---|---|---|---|
country | string | — | ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code to filter (e.g. "USA", "DEU", "JPN", "CHN"). Omit to return all 190+ countries plus IMF regional/income-group aggregates. |
end_year | integer | — | Latest year to include, including IMF WEO forward projections (e.g. 2029). Omit for full history. |
countries | array | — | List of ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes to filter (e.g. ["USA","DEU","JPN"]), max 20. Use instead of "country" to fetch multiple countries in one call. |
