What it does
The OECD Data API gives the statistics of the OECD's member countries, such as GDP growth, inflation, employment, education and environment indicators, for example to compare countries in a report. It is an SDMX REST API: build a query from a dataflow and filters, and get SDMX-JSON, SDMX-ML (XML) or CSV. Free, no key needed; the OECD limits how many queries one user may send per hour.
