There's no formal API, but someone has written a scraper[0] that you could rerun to get newer data (or, for that matter, you could write your own scraper).[0]: https://github.com/twigkit/worldfactbook-dataset

[–] gspyrou 13y ago ↗ You could take a look at the United Nations Demographic Statistics on Azure Marketplace. http://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/unitednations/demographi...http://datamarket.azure.com/browse/data?category=demographic...
