Eurostat Income Distribution (EU-SILC) — Per Record

Official source. No API key. Pay per record.

This actor turns Eurostat's EU-SILC income distribution statistics (dataset ilc_di03) 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 age group, the sex, the statistic, the unit, the year, and the value, verbatim from the source. These are national aggregate distribution statistics (such as mean and median income by demographic breakdown). No household- or person-level data exists in the source and none is ever constructed.

Who buys this and for what job

• Social and economic researchers comparing income distribution across EU countries and demographic groups.
• Policy and think-tank teams feeding official EU-SILC aggregates into analysis with provenance intact.
• Journalists who need the exact national figures by age group and sex behind an inequality story.
• Data engineers wanting a keyless, one-call official series for a pipeline.

The job it does: get the official income distribution (eu-silc) 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
income_distribution_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:

}

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 income_distribution_record is billed per delivered observation, so cost = records pulled × your plan's per-record price. The full permitted set from 2024 is roughly 25,872 records — about $1,294 on the Free-plan rate, or about $867 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

• National aggregate only — by age group and sex. No individual, household, or person-level records exist in the source or are ever produced.
• Cadence: annual. Some breakdowns are suppressed or missing; those are excluded and counted, never zero-filled.
• Different statistics (mean, median) and units are distinct rows; read the fields before comparing.
• 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.
