What is wrong with this hyperlink? I need this for my History dissertation but it won't work.

Open | Software

 Faulty link here:

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/BX.KLT.DINV.WD.GD.ZS?locations=BB  

Long story short this is one of the many links for my dissertation that simply do not work all for the World Bank Website. Even more irritatingly there are multiple graphs (such as this one on FDI) that cannot be accessed by searching them or by going onto the World Bank website and searching them there. This one can only be accessed by going onto GDP and then changing the filters and flicking through settings.

This means that by going through a very specific set of instructions I can find the info I want but can't use a link to get back there or send anyone else there.

This was fine when I was just searching for info but now that I need to reference them finding out that 90% of the links don't function is a real pain.

Additional info, This works on neither safari or Opera (for me anyway). I have cleaned my cache and cookies like the prompt suggests but all it will show is '500 internal server error'

For context this one works but I have no clue what's different about them.

Thank you for anyone who can help!
