wdi2: Download World Development Indicators from the World Bank
Indicators API
A modern, flexible interface for accessing the World Bank’s World Development Indicators
(WDI) API <https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/889392-about-the-indicators-api-documentation>.
Similar to the existing 'WDI' package, 'wdi2' allows users to download, process, and analyze
indicator data for multiple countries and years. However, 'wdi2' differs by relying on 'httr2'
for multi-page request and error handling, providing support for downloading multiple indicators
with a single function call, using progress bars to keep users informed about the data processing,
and returning the processed data in a tidy data format in line with Wickham (2014) <doi:10.18637/jss.v059.i10>.
