| Where it stops | Topic coverage is curated rather than comprehensive, and many series are a year or more behind. | Only indexes datasets whose publishers added the right metadata — plenty of good data never appears. | Output is a static SVG or PNG — there is no interactive or embeddable version. | Free charts are public, keep the Datawrapper credit, and export as PNG only — SVG and PDF need a paid plan. |
