Bilateral import and export statistics for most countries back to 1962. Query results export to CSV; the free tier covers basic pulls.

With bilateral trade records back to 1962, this is the source for questions like how much one country imports from another, or how a trade relationship shifted after a tariff or policy change. Query results export cleanly to CSV, making them easy to pair with a written trade question in a notebook. The free tier limits how many queries and how much detail you can pull, so a deep multi-country study may need the paid API instead.
