Two different UIS Data Products targeting different users:
UIS Open Data API: A powerful standards-based API for programmatically accessing and retrieving the full range of UIS published data and indicators. Data are organized in thematic statistical databases and fully disaggregated by statistical concepts. The API is for advanced users that need full control over data extraction from the UIS Global Database.
UIS.Stat: A powerful and easy-to-use browser for viewing and downloading the most popular UIS data and indicators in tables. Data are organized in a tree view by topic and presented using a simple three-dimensional format (indicator, country or region, year). Users can build their own customized tables and export data in Excel format.
