Is there an API for International Monetary Fund?

How do I scrape International Monetary Fund data?

POST to https://api.anakin.io/v1/wire/task with your API key, the action ID, and its parameters, then poll GET /v1/wire/jobs/{id} until the job settles. There is nothing to install and no scraper to maintain — when imf.org changes its markup, Anakin updates the action.
