Data infrastructure that powers
the world’s best innovation ecosystems.
Builders ship on it. Agents reason on it. Analysts cite on it. One verified data layer for every decision that follows.
All of Africa.
55 countries across 5 regions. Every African state indexed with comparable indicators. and every number traced to its source.
Three ways people use ADB.
We've optimised the same data for three different jobs. Start where you live.
Find data, cite it, ship the report.
Search the expanding live indicator catalog across 55 African country and territory profiles. Registered users can download CSV; paid plans add XLSX and other export formats.
Africa data, built for developers.
One versioned REST API. Every response cited. No sales call to try it. 10,000 free calls a day, keys in seconds.
Embed African data into your work.
Team seats, SLA support, commercial licensing, custom ingestion pipelines. For consultancies, multilaterals, and AI dataset licensing.
We maintain an expanding live data catalog across 55 African countries - every observation response carries provenance, and every managed refresh leaves an immutable historical snapshot.
Six choices that make it
load-bearing.
The difference between a data API you try once and one you build a product on. Here’s what we won’t compromise on.
- 01
Trace every number to its source
Click any value to see exactly where it came from: the original publisher, the year, and the method. No black-box transformations.
- 02
Freshness at query time
On a cache miss, supported series use their active publisher connector; stale World Bank series use the live WDI API. Managed sources also refresh daily with visible run status.
- 03
Versioned for reproducible work
Every managed ingestion retains immutable raw and normalized snapshots. Retrieve a historical run and verify individual observations by run ID.
- 04
Comparable across countries
Country codes, units, and indicator definitions are aligned across all sources. No manual reconciliation before you can chart Kenya against Nigeria.
- 05
Built for developers too
REST API with API keys, rate limits, and bulk downloads. Drop African statistical data straight into your models, dashboards, or RAG pipeline.
- 06
