Eurostat Macro Data & Official Release Calendar

Official EU inflation (HICP), GDP growth and unemployment figures for every EU country, the EU and the euro area, together with Eurostat's release calendar, so you know exactly when the next figure comes out.

The data comes straight from Eurostat's own data API and calendar, which allow commercial reuse with acknowledgement. You get clean rows ready for spreadsheets, dashboards, trading or research models, and AI agents. Unlike economic-calendar Actors that scrape investing sites, this one comes from the official publisher.

Use cases

• Keep a macro dashboard of EU and euro-area inflation, growth and unemployment up to date
• Schedule pipelines and alerts around official release dates
• Compare countries: Germany vs. Portugal vs. the euro area, monthly or quarterly
• Backfill history from 1996 for models and research

What's included

Series	Eurostat dataset	Meaning	Frequency
hicp	prc_hicp_minr	All-items HICP inflation, % change on a year earlier	Monthly
gdp	namq_10_gdp	Real GDP growth vs. previous quarter, seasonally and calendar adjusted	Quarterly
unemployment	une_rt_m	Unemployment rate, % of labour force, seasonally adjusted	Monthly

Geographies: all 27 EU countries (EL = Greece), EU27_2020, and the euro area as EA20 or EA21. The euro area grew to 21 members in 2026, and some series are only published for EA21. Combinations Eurostat doesn't publish are listed in RUN_SUMMARY and not charged.

Release calendar: Eurostat's own scheduled releases for the selected series, up to 90 days ahead, including flash estimates.

Input

{
  "series": ["hicp", "gdp", "unemployment"],
  "geos": ["EA21", "DE", "PT"],
  "since": "2026-01-01",
  "includeCalendar": true,
  "calendarStart": "2026-10-30",
  "calendarEnd": "2026-12-31",
  "maxRows": 1000
}

since keeps periods that start on or after that date. 2026-07-02, for example, leaves out July and the third quarter. The calendar window defaults to today plus 31 days.

Output

Observation (type: "observation")

{
  "series": "hicp", "dataset": "prc_hicp_minr", "period": "2026-09", "geo": "EA20", "geoName": "Euro area – 20 countries (2023-2025)",
  "value": 3.8, "unit": "RCH_A", "unitLabel": "Annual rate of change", "frequency": "M",
  "status": null, "datasetUpdatedAt": "2026-10-16T23:00:00+0200",
  "datasetUrl": "https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/prc_hicp_minr/default/table?lang=en",
  "acknowledgement": "Source: Eurostat (prc_hicp_minr), accessed 2026-10-30."
}

Calendar release (type: "calendar")

{ "releaseId": "22494428", "title": "Flash estimate inflation euro area", "date": "2026-11-04", "allDay": true, "preliminary": false, "series": ["hicp"], "datasets": ["prc_hicp_minr"] }

Missing values are left out, never filled in as zero. GDP and unemployment figures get revised, so keep datasetUpdatedAt and status when you compare runs. When Eurostat marks a release as all-day, scheduledAt is null rather than a guessed time.
