Hello,
The World Bank website currently allows anyone to use it's worldwide data
In the above page, the World bank provides a basic call structure format. Following this protocol, I have generated links such as:
Surface area (sq. km) of Ethiopia: http://api.worldbank.org/c
Entering the above link into a url, returns the following data:
I'm not a programmer, but all I want to be able to do is grab the <wb:value> of 1104300 above and add it to a webpage, for multiple url links.
E.g my website would have 10 separate pages (one for each country) and on each of these pages would be the label: Surface area (sq. km): alongside the pulled World Bank data from the above url.
How would I approach this?
