The 🇱🇻 Latvia CSB Public Statistics Scraper turns Latvia Central Statistical Bureau (CSB)'s official statistics service into a structured dataset. It calls the public REST endpoint with the table path you choose, parses the response, and flattens it into one row per data point.

📋 What this scraper does

• Calls the official data.stat.gov.lv REST endpoint with the table path you provide.
• Auto-discovers each table's variables (region, time, category) via the metadata endpoint.
• Parses the response and flattens every cell into one row.
• Resolves variable codes to human-readable labels.
• Surfaces upstream errors as a single diagnostic record instead of crashing.
• Exports as a clean tabular dataset ready for download in your preferred format.

💡 Why it matters: Official statistics agencies ship data as multi-dimensional matrices. Most analysts spend hours wrangling that shape into long-form rows. This actor does the flattening for you so the data drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a spreadsheet.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: category, period, results, scrapedAt, tablePath, title, unit, value. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: Every table has its own variable structure. If you leave the variable selection empty, the actor auto-discovers the variables and requests all values. For very large tables, set maxItems to bound the dataset.
