To represent a fairer picture of the index, it would be better to show the relationship between Big Mac pricing and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita.

We are going to acquire GDP per capita from Quandl's World Bank World Development Indicators (WWDI) dataset. Based on the previous code example of acquiring JSON data from Quandl, can you try to adapt it to download the GDP per capita dataset?
