Full description

Asian Development Bank — KIDB (Key Indicators Database), SDMX 3.0 API. License: ADB open data terms (attribution) Source: https://kidb.adb.org/ No API key required. Coverage: 62 dataflows (EO_* economic outlook / national accounts, PPL_* people, MFP_* money-finance-prices, GG_* government, EGELC_* energy, ENV_*, ...), annual (plus Q/M where annual is empty), all ADB member economies. Endpoints: * Dataflows: GET /v4/sdmx/structure/dataflow/all/all/ (SDMX 3.0 XML) * Indicators: GET /dataflow/indicators/{FLOW_ID} (JSON list) * Data: GET /v4/sdmx/data/ADB,{FLOW}/A.{IND}.?format=sdmx-csv Full-flow dumps (A..) return 504 — per-indicator with a trailing dot (= all economies) is the granularity that works. On 422/504 falls back to per-economy iteration using economy codes already harvested; if none are known yet, logs and skips. Tries frequency A first; if a whole flow yields zero observations, retries once with Q, then M. Output: one parquet per dataflow in data/clean_full/adb/, long format {series_key, obs_date, value}; resumable (skips existing parquets, flags empty flows under _empty/). series_key: ADB:{FLOW}:{INDICATOR}:{ECONOMY_CODE} obs_date: 2023 → Dec 31; 2023-Q1 → quarter start; 2023-01 → month start. Run: python jobs/ingest_adb_kidb.py
