Project Description

Project Title:  View help for Project Title USAID DHS API data rescue
Summary:  View help for Summary
Data were retrieved from the DHS Program indicator data API, using the following query: https://api.dhsprogram.com/rest/dhs/data/{year},all  

Data were retrieved for years 1985-2023. 

Data are reasonably complete, though I cannot guarantee that every available page of data was retrieved: the API had performance issues, and it was necessary to retry portions of the download several times. 

The data are in compressed JSON format.
