Construct an exact statistic
Build a statistic for a specific country, company, or state from a source's dimensions.
Search returns common statistics. For an exact one, construct it from a source's dimensions. This builds German GDP.
1. See the dimensions
curl "https://api.kitegraph.com/v1/sources/worldbank" -H "Authorization: Bearer kg_live_…"
→ dimensions: statistic, country
2. Find the values
curl "https://api.kitegraph.com/v1/sources/worldbank/dimensions/country?search=germ" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer kg_live_…"
→ { "values": [ { "value": "DEU", "label": "Germany" } ] }
3. Construct it
Pass one value per dimension. The API mints a stable id and resolves the series.
curl "https://api.kitegraph.com/v1/statistic?source=worldbank&statistic=NY.GDP.MKTP.CD&country=DEU" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer kg_live_…"
4. Use it in a chart
Reference the minted id like any statistic, or use the full selection inline.
curl -X POST "https://api.kitegraph.com/v1/charts" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer kg_live_…" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "kind": "line", "series": [{ "source": "worldbank", "select": { "statistic": "NY.GDP.MKTP.CD", "country": "DEU" } }] }'
See the Sources reference for every source's dimensions.
