`search_indicators`

Pack: imf · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/imf/mcp

Discover what a dataset accepts: its dimension names in key order, and the codes available for each, filtered by query. Use this before get_data — e.g. search_indicators({dataset:“CPI”, query:“united states”}) finds COUNTRY=USA. Without a query it returns the dimension list and a sample of codes.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`dataset`	string	yes	Dataset id from get_datasets, e.g. “CPI”.
`query`	string	no	Optional term matched against code ids and names, e.g. “united states”, “GDP”, “monthly”.
