Data
The data comes from The World Bank and is collected from 1960 to 2011. There are some values missing from data so users of the data will have to guess what should be in the empty slots.
The actual download happens via The World Bank's API (with csv as the requested format).
Preparation
It is parsed via the script cpi2datapackage.py, located in scripts.
