  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.
