Deutsche Bundesbank — AUSTA - Consolidated Groups (BBBEK4)
This dataset provides the AUSTA – Consolidated Groups (BBBEK4) time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, Germany's central bank, covering economic and price-related statistics. It is distributed as an SDMX 2.1 dataflow accessible via a REST API, with a single endpoint supporting multiple output formats: SDMX-ML (XML), CSV, and JSON. Users can retrieve specific series using key paths combined with startPeriod, endPeriod, or lastNObservations parameters, allowing precise extraction of time ranges or the most recent observations for analysis of German economic indicators.AUSTA - Consolidated Groups (BBBEK4) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBBEK4 dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST. One endpoint serves XML (SDMX-ML), CSV (?format=csv) and JSON (?format=json); extract exactly the series you need with a key path and startPeriod / endPeriod / lastNObservations filters.
