WTO

The World Trade Organization (WTO) provides a REST API for programmatic access to global trade statistics, tariff data, trade flows, quantitative restrictions, dispute settlement records, and trade policy notifications. The flagship Timeseries API covers merchandise trade and services statistics (annual, quarterly, monthly), market access indicators including bound, applied, and preferential tariffs, non-tariff measures, and other WTO-related indicators. API access requires a free API key obtained from the WTO API Developer Portal at apiportal.wto.org.

WTO publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include World Trade, Trade Statistics, Tariffs, Trade Flows, and Trade Policy.

WTO’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, pricing, and 9 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/wto: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
