Africa Macroeconomic Monitor Database API

A python API providing access to a relational database with macroeconomic data for Africa. The database contains >700 macroeconomic time series from mostly international sources, grouped into 50 macroeconomic and development-related topics. Series are carefully selected on the basis of data coverage for Africa and relevance to the macro-development context. The project is part of the Kiel Institute Africa Initiative, which, amongst other things, aims to develop a parsimonious database with highly relevant indicators to monitor macroeconomic developments in Africa, accessible through a fast API and a web-based platform at https://africamonitor.ifw-kiel.de/.
