OEC BotMarket

OEC BotMarket is a data marketplace specifically designed for AI agents and bots, providing access to a wide range of structured datasets in domains such as international trade, economic complexity, economics, demographics, debt, labor markets, education, health, housing, governance, fiscal policy, productivity, skills, social indicators, and US Census data. The platform addresses the challenges of sourcing reliable and well-structured data for automated systems by centralizing multiple curated datasets in a single, consistent interface, reducing the need for data cleaning and format reconciliation.

The service delivers normalized data that is protected against prompt injection and adversarial content, aiming to minimize token usage and computational costs for AI agents. Users can browse the catalog, metadata, schemas, and 100-row sample previews without authentication, while full data queries up to 1,000 rows per request are available with a free API key. The API is accessed by requesting a key using an email address, which is then used as a Bearer token for authentication when querying datasets. The platform provides detailed documentation, including a machine-readable manifest outlining available datasets, endpoints, and authentication procedures.

OEC BotMarket is intended for developers, researchers, and operators of AI agents and bots who require efficient access to trusted data sources for automated analysis or decision-making. The platform is entirely free to use, with no payment or credit card required, and allows one free API key per email. Users can filter, slice, and query datasets on demand without downloading entire files. The service is currently in public beta and encourages user feedback.

Built by Datawheel for OEC, the platform also invites users to suggest or distribute additional datasets. Its design emphasizes simplicity, reliability, and efficiency for machine-driven data consumption, positioning it as a specialized resource for automated research and intelligent systems.
