Eurostat API

Official European Union statistics as an API, powered by Eurostat — the statistical office of the EU. Eurostat publishes harmonised data across every EU and EFTA country and region: population and demography, GDP and national accounts, employment and unemployment, inflation (HICP), trade, energy, migration, education, health and thousands more datasets. This API wraps Eurostat's JSON-stat dissemination service into clean, decoded rows, and adds friendly named indicators so you don't have to learn dataset codes. /v1/indicator?indicator=population&geo=DE&year=2023 returns a named statistic — population, gdp, gdp_per_capita, unemployment, inflation or employment — for one or more countries (2-letter codes such as DE, FR, IT, or aggregates like EU27_2020 and EA20) and one or more years, with no need to know the underlying dataset or dimension codes. /v1/data?dataset=demo_pjan&geo=DE&sex=T&age=TOTAL&time=2023 gives direct access to any of Eurostat's thousands of datasets by its code, with arbitrary dimension filters passed as query parameters — every dataset has its own dimensions (geo, time, sex, age, unit, na_item, coicop and so on). Both endpoints decode Eurostat's JSON-stat format automatically: single-value dimensions are lifted into a `fixed` context block, and each row carries the dimensions that actually vary (with both a human-readable label and the underlying code) alongside the numeric value, the dataset label and the last-update date. Ideal for economic dashboards, country comparison tools, research, data journalism and policy analysis. Country codes are 2-letter ISO; aggregates include EU27_2020 and EA20.
