The Big Mac Index is an economic indicator published by The Economist that compares the cost of a Big Mac in various countries to assess currency overvaluation or undervaluation relative to the U.S. dollar. It serves as a simple way to measure purchasing power parity.
The Big Mac Rates Data API provides real-time data on the Big Mac Index, allowing users to retrieve information by country or year. This includes the price of a Big Mac in different countries, enabling users to analyze trends and perform global comparisons.

Each endpoint returns specific data related to the Big Mac Index. The "obtain All Countries" endpoint provides a list of countries, while the "big mac index by country" endpoint returns the current Big Mac price and index for a specified country.
