Embed African data into your work.
Team seats, SLA support, commercial licensing, custom ingestion pipelines. For consultancies, multilaterals, and AI dataset licensing.
We maintain an expanding live data catalog across 55 African countries - every observation response carries provenance, and every managed refresh leaves an immutable historical snapshot.
Built different,
for Africa.
Most platforms make you choose between speed and trust. We refuse the trade-off, and the six choices below are how.
- 01
Trace every number to its source
Click any value to see exactly where it came from: the original publisher, the year, and the method. No black-box transformations.
- 02
Freshness at query time
On a cache miss, supported series use their active publisher connector; stale World Bank series use the live WDI API. Managed sources also refresh daily with visible run status.
- 03
Versioned for reproducible work
Every managed ingestion retains immutable raw and normalized snapshots. Retrieve a historical run and verify individual observations by run ID.
- 04
Comparable across countries
Country codes, units, and indicator definitions are aligned across all sources. No manual reconciliation before you can chart Kenya against Nigeria.
- 05
Built for developers too
REST API with API keys, rate limits, and bulk downloads. Drop African statistical data straight into your models, dashboards, or RAG pipeline.
- 06
