The GeoEnrichment service provides global demographic data for 170 countries and regions. To get globally available information, you use the KeyGlobalFacts data collection, which returns information for the total population, total households, average household size, and total population for males and females for a study area.
In this tutorial, you use ArcGIS REST JS to access the GeoEnrichment service and display global data for Eastern Europe.
If you are using the CDN libraries, to get started.

To access location services, you need an API key or OAuth 2.0 access token. To learn how to create and scope your key, visit the Create an API key tutorial.
Go to your dashboard to get an API key. The API key must be scoped to access the services used in this tutorial.
In CodePen, update apiKey to use your key.
Make the request
You can copy and paste the code below, following the steps to make a request to the GeoEnrichment service.
Reference the ArcGIS REST JS libraries either through CDN, ES Modules, or Node JS.
Set the apiKey with the API key from your dashboard.
Define the parameters needed for the request. To return global data, set the dataCollections parameter to ["KeyGlobalFacts"].
