For your agent

A request your code or agent can make (add your key):

  • Append .csv, .metadata.json or .zip to any /grapher/<chart-slug> URL to get its data without a key; a 403 means the data is not redistributable.
  • Credit both Our World in Data and the underlying data provider
  • Check each chart's metadata for third-party license terms before reuse
  • Do not modify embed iframes in a way that hides the chart from some users

Paste into your agent: Read https://agentgid.com/resources/our-world-in-data/agent.md before using Our World in Data.
