🇪🇺 Eurostat EU Statistics Scraper

European economic and social statistics live inside thousands of datasets - population, GDP, unemployment, inflation, energy, trade, agriculture, and more. This tool pulls any Eurostat dataset into a flat, analysis-ready format so you skip the manual download-and-wrangle step.

The Eurostat Scraper collects official European Union statistics from any Eurostat dataset with country filters, time ranges, and automatic dimension unfolding into clean tabular rows.

✨ What Does It Do

• 📊 Any Eurostat dataset - population, GDP, inflation, unemployment, trade, energy, and thousands more
• 🗺️ Country filtering - pull data for specific EU countries, candidate states, or EU27 totals
• 📅 Time range filtering - limit results to a specific start and end period
• 🔄 Auto-flatten dimensions - the JSON-stat format is unfolded into one row per data point with labels
• 🌍 Multi-country comparisons - pull data for several countries in one run
• 🏷️ Human-readable labels - every dimension code comes with its localized label

🔧 Input

• Dataset Code - the Eurostat dataset identifier (e.g. demo_gind for population, nama_10_gdp for GDP, une_rt_a for unemployment, prc_hicp_manr for inflation)
• Geographic Filter - 2-letter country codes comma-separated (e.g. DE,FR,IT) or EU27_2020 for EU total
• Time From / Time To - start and end period (2020 for yearly, 2020-01 for monthly)
• Max Items - free users get 10 data points, paid users up to 1,000,000
