OEC BotMarket, The Data Marketplace for AI Agents - Showcase Project

What is BotMarket? BotMarket is a structured dataset hub that gives AI agents direct access to real, trusted data via API. It's built by the team behind the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), one of the most widely used platforms for international trade and economic data. The problem it solves AI agents can write code, run workflows, and generate reports, but they frequently hallucinate data. They'll produce trade statistics that don't exist, demographic figures pulled from nowhere, and charts built on fabricated numbers. This happens because agents lack access to reliable structured data, so they fill the gaps with plausible-sounding fiction. How it works An agent sends a query to BotMarket's API, specifying what data it needs. BotMarket returns clean, structured data from verified sources. The agent then uses that real data to produce its analysis, visualization, or report. Every number in the output is traceable to an actual dataset. Available datasets International trade, economic complexity, demographics, labor markets, education, health, housing, governance, fiscal policy, productivity, skills, social indicators, and US Census data (American Community Survey). Tech stack and compatibility BotMarket works with any agent framework that can make API calls: LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, AutoGPT, or custom setups. Data is returned as structured JSON. Target audience AI developers building agent systems that need reliable data for analysis tasks. Data scientists, economists, and quantitative analysts combining agent capabilities with trusted datasets. Current status Live and accessible at botmarket.oec.world. Backed by over a decade of data infrastructure from OEC.
