@henrykironde I am willing to do this. I have understood the process of JSON creation and handling all types of entries. One doubt - These links are abundance of various datasets. So are we expected to create different dataset for everything we see?

@shubhank-saxena we try to provide dataset as categorically as possible. For example this could be on whole single data set United Nations: National Accounts Main Aggregates Database https://unstats.un.org/UNSD/snaama/Downloads

The other two seem to have several breakdowns we can make. Meaning this is a repository having a lot of data from which we can create several scripts
