**Short answer.** Append `.csv` to any grapher chart URL: `https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-of-population-in-extreme-poverty.csv`. Add `.metadata.json` for sources and units.

## Details

- Columns: `Entity`, `Code` (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3, blank for regions), `Year`, then the indicators.
- Filter in the URL: `?country=USA~DEU`, `?time=2000..2023`, `?csvType=filtered`.
- The chart's page lists the upstream source (World Bank PIP, IHME, WHO); cite both OWID and the source.
- Bulk: OWID publishes its ETL catalog and a Python package (`owid-catalog`).

## Pitfalls

- Region rows ("World", "Europe") have no code; filter by `Code` for countries.
- Some series are OWID-derived (smoothed, interpolated); the metadata says so.

## Sources

- Our World in Data, [Data access](https://docs.owid.io/projects/etl/api/) (checked 2026-09-10).
