Perplexity

Monitor financial stability

Run headless scripts to check total external debt stocks (% of GNI) using `get_external_debt`. You can also track capital flow by getting net foreign direct investment inflows with `get_fdi`. This is ideal for pre-run validation checks. Use the CLI to script calls for critical financial health metrics like inflation rates (`get_inflation`) and current GDP figures via `get_gdp`.

Script environmental compliance

For DevOps, you can write jobs that pull CO2 emissions per capita using `get_co2_emissions`. Similarly, script checks on resource use by fetching renewable energy consumption via `get_renewable_energy`. These tools allow you to validate global sustainability metrics as part of a deployment pipeline or cron job.

Systematically query indicator data

The core function is querying the full catalog. Use `get_indicator_data` combined with `search_indicators` to build a comprehensive list of required metrics. This allows you to programmatically discover and pull any needed data point. If your script needs context, run `list_topics` first. It gives you the master list of available categories for systematic iteration.
