You can track population changes over time by accessing the API's historical population data, which includes figures for the current year (2024) and the previous year (2023). By comparing these figures, you can analyze trends and changes in population dynamics.

Yes, the Global Population Data API is suitable for academic research as it offers comprehensive and detailed demographic data that can be used for various analyses, including studies on population growth, density, and global demographic trends.

The Global Population Data API provides detailed statistics including current and past population figures, land area, population density, demographic changes, and other relevant data for 234 countries.

You can access demographic data for a specific country by making a request to the API with the country's name or code. The response will include various fields such as population for the current and previous years, area in square kilometers, density, and population change.

Each endpoint returns specific population statistics. The "obtain countries available" endpoint lists all countries, while the "current population data by country" and "previous population data by country" endpoints provide population figures for the specified year. The "population details by country" endpoint offers comprehensive demographic information, including area, density, and rank.

Key fields in the response data include "country," "population," "area_km2," "density_per_km2," "change_rate," "world_percentage," and "rank." These fields provide essential insights into the population dynamics and geographic context of each country.

The response data is organized in JSON format, with each entry containing an array of objects. Each object corresponds to a country and includes relevant fields such as population figures, area, and demographic details, making it easy to parse and utilize.

The "obtain countries available" endpoint provides a list of all countries. The "current population data by country" and "previous population data by country" endpoints return population figures for specified years. The "population details by country" endpoint offers comprehensive demographic data, including area, density, and population change.

The primary parameter for the endpoints is the "country name" or "country code," which allows users to specify which country's data they wish to retrieve. The "obtain countries available" endpoint does not require parameters, as it returns all countries.

Users can analyze trends by comparing current and previous population figures, assess demographic changes using density and area data, and understand a country's global standing through its rank and world percentage. This information is valuable for research, policy-making, and educational purposes.

Typical use cases include academic research on population trends, government policy analysis, demographic studies, and market research. The data can help identify growth patterns, urbanization effects, and resource allocation needs based on population density and changes.

The Global Population Data API sources its data from reputable organizations such as the United Nations and other demographic research institutions. Regular updates and quality checks are implemented to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the population statistics provided.

General FAQs

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.

Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
