Get historical data by specific country and indicator. It’s possible to use one or multiple countries and indicators, also a date range

/historical/country/{country}/indicator/{indicator}

te.getHistoricalData(country='mexico', indicator='gdp', output_type='df')

data = te.getHistoricalData(country = 'mexico', indicator = 'gdp').then(function(data){
  console.log(data)       
});

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("https://api.tradingeconomics.com/historical/country/mexico/indicator/gdp?c=guest:guest");

/historical/country/{countries}/indicator/{indicators}/{yyyy-mm-dd}

te.getHistoricalData(country=['mexico', 'sweden'], indicator=['gdp','population'], 
 initDate='2015-01-01', output_type='df')

data = te.getHistoricalData(country = ['mexico','sweden'], indicator = ['gdp','population'], 
 start_date = '2015-01-01').then(function(data){
  console.log(data)
});

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("https://api.tradingeconomics.com/historical/country/mexico,sweden/indicator/gdp,population/2015-01-01?c=guest:guest");

/historical/country/{countries}/indicator/{indicators}/{yyyy-mm-dd}/{yyyy-mm-dd}

te.getHistoricalData(country=['mexico', 'sweden'], indicator=['gdp','population'],

data = te.getHistoricalData(country = ['mexico','sweden'], indicator = ['gdp','population'], 
 start_date = '2015-01-01', end_date = '2015-12-31').then(function(data){
  console.log(data)
