Data Sources

All data in EurostatAPI is sourced exclusively from Eurostat's Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) 2.1 REST API. Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union, responsible for publishing EU economic statistics.

EurostatAPI ingests, normalizes, and caches data from approximately 20 Eurostat datasets covering GDP, inflation, unemployment, earnings, population, trade, and more. The raw SDMX dimension codes are mapped to human-readable parameters so you can query with ?country=DE instead of namq_10_gdp/Q.SCA.CLV10_MEUR.B1GQ.DE.

EurostatAPI covers EU-27 member states, EEA countries (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein), and candidate countries (Turkey, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia). Not all datasets have data for all countries — use the GET /v1/datasets/{code}/metadata endpoint to check available countries for a specific dataset.

All Eurostat data is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. You are free to share and adapt the data for any purpose, including commercial use, as long as you provide appropriate attribution to Eurostat.

EurostatAPI adds no additional restrictions on the underlying data. Your API subscription covers access to our normalization layer, caching, and REST interface — the data itself remains CC BY 4.0.

All data is EU-hosted on Hetzner Falkenstein. No PII is logged, GDPR compliant, no warranty — see the footer for the full legal boilerplate.
