Eurostat Statistics API

Independent tool. Not an official service and not endorsed by Eurostat or the European Commission. Query any Eurostat dataset (unemployment, inflation, GDP, population, energy...) and get flat JSON rows with readable labels.

Data source: Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union (Eurostat dissemination API). Eurostat data are reusable free of charge under the Commission reuse policy (CC BY 4.0) with acknowledgement of the source. The actor only filters and flattens the data; it does not change any value. Each record carries sourceUpdated, the dataset's last update time at Eurostat, and Eurostat's quality flag when present (p = provisional, e = estimated).

Indicators by name (no dataset codes)

Ask for unemployment, youth_unemployment, inflation, gdp_growth or house_prices and a list of countries by name (English or Spanish: Spain, Alemania, Greece, plus European Union and Euro area as benchmarks). The actor knows the right dataset and filters for each indicator, so you do not have to.

Input:

{"indicator":"inflation","countries":["Spain","Germany","France"]}

Output (real run, 11-10-2026): one record per country and period, newest first, with the change versus the previous period and versus a year ago in percentage points, plus one ranking record with the latest value of each country (lowest first).

• Default range: the last 2 years. Use sinceTimePeriod / untilTimePeriod (2025-01, 2025-Q1) to change it.
• Billing: one observation event per observation record. The ranking record is not billed.
• Why curated: Eurostat replaced its monthly inflation dataset in 2026 (the old code prc_hicp_manr stops at December 2025). The inflation indicator uses the current one, so you never get stale numbers by mistake.

Find any dataset (catalogue search)

Input {"search":"hicp ecoicop"} searches the titles of all Eurostat datasets (all your words must appear in the title or code; no fuzzy matching) and returns code, title, period covered and last update. Datasets that look outdated (no update for months, or old data) carry a warning, so you can see which code replaced them. Search results are not billed per result.

Advanced: any dataset by code

The original mode still works: dataset + filters. If the latest period of the dataset you ask for is more than 15 months old, you also get a notice record telling you it is probably replaced.

Input

Field	Meaning	Default
indicator, countries, includeRanking	Indicator mode (see above)	none
search	Catalogue search	none
dataset	Dataset code, e.g. une_rt_m, prc_hicp_manr, namq_10_gdp (required)	une_rt_m
filters	Object of dimension filters, e.g. {"geo":["ES","DE"],"sex":"T"}	see prefill
sinceTimePeriod, untilTimePeriod	Period range (2025-01, 2025-Q1, 2025)	none
maxItems	1-100,000 observations, newest period first	100

Output (one record per observation)

{"dataset":"UNE_RT_M","freq":"M","s_adj":"SA","age":"TOTAL","unit":"PC_ACT","sex":"T","geo":"DE","time":"2026-08","labels":{"geo":"Germany","sex":"Total"},"value":4,"datasetTitle":"Unemployment by sex and age - monthly data","sourceUpdated":"2026-10-08T11:00:00+0200","source":"Eurostat","fetchedAt":"2026-10-10T18:48:43.367Z"}

The dimension columns depend on the dataset.

Pricing (pay per event)

• Run start: $0.005
• Observation: $0.0005 (100 observations = $0.05)

Limits

• Eurostat rejects very large queries; add filters (geo, unit...) or a period range if you get a size error.
• Values can be provisional and are revised by Eurostat.
• Only statistical data; no personal data.

Data protection
