INEGI API requires registering for a token. The BIE has a REST endpoint at www.inegi.org.mx/app/api/indicadores. Series IDs are listed in their metadata catalog. Response format is JSON but nested.

I need to integrate the INEGI API for a market analysis tool. We want to pull demographic data by municipality — population, age distribution, income levels — from the 2020 census. Also interested in economic activity data like GDP by state.
I found INEGI's BIE (Banco de Información Económica) and their geographic data service but the documentation is in Spanish and not very developer-friendly. Has anyone built a production INEGI API integration? Any tips on authentication, rate limits, and navigating the series identifiers?
