About DBnomics

Economic data is a public good — we make it accessible.

What is DBnomics?

DBnomics is a free platform that aggregates publicly available economic data from national and international statistical institutions, as well as researchers and private companies.

All data is standardized into a common format to simplify search, access, and analysis.

DBnomics dataflow — DBnomics data collection and distribution flow

Broad Worldwide Coverage

Access millions of economic time series from national and international institutions through one website and a unified API.

The data covers population and living conditions, environment and energy, agriculture, finance, trade, and more.

Redistribute Data As-Is

DBnomics is intentionally non-opinionated: original dataset and series codes are preserved, numerical values are never modified, and NA (not available) values are kept.

We do not reclassify datasets into our own hierarchy: each provider's category tree is shown as-is.

Powerful Website

Browse datasets through each provider's category tree, search by keyword, or enter dataset or series IDs directly if you know them.

Filter datasets by dimensions, and visualize series as charts or tables.

Download data in various formats (e.g. CSV, Excel XLSX).

API & Developer-Friendly Tools

Access time series directly from your work environment using the Web API and its client libraries (e.g. Python, R).

Stop spending time parsing file formats (e.g. XML, CSV, Excel), or copy-pasting data by hand.

Daily Automatic Updates

Our daily data pipeline runs dedicated fetchers — one per provider — to collect new releases and archive every revision.

Your indicators are updated as soon as providers publish new data.

A Public Good Sustained by Its Community

Most macroeconomic series exist thanks to public funding. They are a public good for administrations, researchers, and businesses alike – and should remain accessible without costly intermediaries.

We aim to grow a community of users around the project, and share the maintenance of the fetchers with a community of contributors.

The platform is developed and maintained on a modest budget of less than €200,000 per year, funded by partner institutions and the community.

Our tools are already used by analysts, data scientists, and modelers in major public institutions, including the OECD, Bank of France, and the French Directorate General of the Treasury. DBnomics can support your team with easy data access, seamless workflow integration, and zero infrastructure requirements.

If your organization relies time series, DBnomics offers a reliable gateway to global economic data. We welcome new users and contributors to join our growing community.
