Developer API

A versioned, documented API for the data.

Every figure is available as JSON (or CSV) from a read-only API — versioned under /v1, no key, CORS-open, free to reuse with attribution (CC-BY 4.0). Responses wrap the payload in a meta (license, attribution) plus data. Rate-limited to 120 requests/minute per client.
