Eurostat Construction Production — Monthly, Per Record

Official source. No API key. Pay per record.

This actor turns Eurostat's construction production statistics (dataset sts_copr_m) into clean, per-record data. Each run reads the figures directly from Eurostat's public JSON-stat dissemination API and delivers one record per observation — the country, the construction activity (NACE Rev.2), the basis type, the seasonal-adjustment variant, the unit, the month, and the value, verbatim from the source. These are short-term business indicators for the construction sector (index levels and rates of change), published monthly. Nothing is modelled, rescaled, or reinterpreted; where a value is missing at source, no row is invented.

Who buys this and for what job

• Construction and real-estate analysts tracking building-sector output across EU markets each month.
• Economists and macro teams feeding official short-term construction indicators into models.
• Researchers and journalists who need the exact monthly index and rate-of-change figures with provenance.
• Data engineers wanting a keyless, one-call monthly series for a pipeline.

The job it does: get the official construction production series as rows — reliably, with provenance, and without an account or key at the source.

Pricing

Pay per event. One event: a delivered record. Tiered by your Apify plan; the record is delivered before it is charged. No start fee, no subscription. Blocked runs and empty results cost nothing.

Event	Free plan	Bronze	Silver	Gold / Platinum / Diamond
construction_production_record	$0.05	$0.045	$0.04	$0.0335

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
sinceTimePeriod	string	2024	Earliest period to return. Earlier start = more history and more records.
maxRecords	integer	500	Ceiling on records delivered and billed. The default is a fast bounded sample; raise it to pull the full set.

Both are optional; the default run is a bounded sample that finishes quickly so you can see the shape before scaling up.

Output

One JSON object per observation. Every dimension is emitted as a code and a label, both verbatim from Eurostat; a composite record_id uniquely identifies each row so no two source observations collapse together. Example record from a real run:

  "observed_at": "2026-08-17T00:00:00Z"
}

Every run also writes an unbilled RUN_RECEIPT to the run's key-value store: the robots check, the source URL, how many observations were present, delivered, excluded as missing or as commercial-barred geographies, and whether charged equals delivered.

Cost guidance

One construction_production_record is billed per delivered observation, so cost = records pulled × your plan's per-record price. The full permitted set from 2024 is roughly 17,540 records — about $877 on the Free-plan rate, or about $588 at the Gold-tier rate. A default 500-record sample is about $25 (Free) or $16.75 (Gold). You control volume with sinceTimePeriod and maxRecords.

Honest limitations and caveats

• It is an index / rate-of-change series, not a value in euros and not a forecast.
• Cadence: monthly. Recent months are frequently provisional and revised in later releases (living source).
• Basis, seasonal-adjustment, and unit variants are distinct rows; read those fields before comparing.
• Related to the fleet-2 industrial-production and services-production actors on a different storefront; this is construction specifically — cross-fleet dedupe-checked, no row overlap.
• Coverage is licence-limited by design. Eurostat permits commercial reuse only for EU, EFTA, and official acceding/candidate countries; geographies outside that set are excluded at ingest and counted in the run receipt. This is a compliance choice, not a data gap.
• Missing observations are excluded, never invented; published zeros are kept as real values.
• Values, units, statuses, and dimension codes are reproduced verbatim — never rescaled, relabelled, or re-derived.
