datapungi_imf

datapungi_imf is a python package that provides a simplified way to extract data from the API of IMF (IMF). Overall it:

• can read a saved API key (in json/yaml files or environment variables (default)) to avoid having a copy of it on a script.
• can automatically test:
  • the connectivity to all BEA datasets,
  • the quality of the cleaned up data, and
  • if the provided requests code snippet returns the correct result.
