🇪🇺 Eurostat Statistics Scraper (EU + Germany + every member state)

🚀 Export any official European statistic in seconds. Filter 8,218 Eurostat datasets across population, GDP, inflation, employment, trade, energy, agriculture, and environment. Covers Germany plus EU27, EEA, EFTA, UK, and aggregate regions. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling.

The Eurostat Statistics Scraper wraps the official Eurostat dissemination API (ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api/dissemination) and turns the JSON-stat response into flat rows. Every dimension code maps to a human-readable label automatically. The underlying catalog is published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, and is the canonical source for harmonized statistics across member states.

The catalog covers 8,218 dataset codes spanning demography, national accounts, prices, labour market, foreign trade, agriculture, energy, transport, environment, science and technology, regional series at NUTS levels, and bilateral aggregates. Geographic coverage includes Germany, every EU27 member state, EFTA countries, the United Kingdom, candidate countries, and EU aggregates (EU27_2020, EA20, EA19). This Actor returns one row per dimension combination, ready to download as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Economists, policy analysts, journalists, ESG teams, fintech and energy desks, demographers, academic researchers, NUTS regional planners	Inflation tracking, GDP comparisons, cross-country labour studies, energy mix dashboards, trade flows, harmonized demographic benchmarks

📋 What the Eurostat Scraper does

Two operating modes in a single Actor:

• 📚 Catalogue mode. Browses or searches the full Eurostat dataset table-of-contents. Returns 8,218+ rows with title, code, type (dataset or table), last update, last structural change, time coverage start/end, and total value count. Use this to discover the dataset code you need.
• 📊 Data mode. Hits the dissemination statistics endpoint for a specific dataset code, fetches the JSON-stat response, and decodes the multi-dimensional cube into flat rows. One row per dimension combination, with the numeric value, every dimension code (geo, time, age, sex, unit, etc.), every localized label, the dataset title, the source agency, and the last-updated timestamp.

Filter the cube using geo (country codes like DE, FR, EU27_2020), time (years or quarters), and per-dimension extraFilters. Output language is English. Free-text catalogue search filters by title substring.

💡 Why it matters: Eurostat is the most harmonized cross-country statistics catalog in the world, but the JSON-stat dissemination format is hostile to spreadsheets. This Actor decodes the cube into flat rows you can drop into BI tools, dashboards, or training datasets without writing a parser, and the catalogue mode gives you a searchable index of 8,218 dataset codes.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: datasetId, dimensionLabels, dimensions, label, scrapedAt, source, updated, url, value. All 9 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
