Deutsche Bundesbank — BBK01 time series general (BBK10)
This dataset provides access to the BBK10 dataflow of general economic time series published by the Deutsche Bundesbank (Germany's central bank), covering areas such as prices and broader economic indicators. Data is exposed through an SDMX 2.1 REST API endpoint that can return XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, or JSON formats. Users can extract specific series using a key path along with startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations filters, allowing precise retrieval of time series data for economic analysis and monitoring at the national level.BBK01 time series general (BBK10) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBK10 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.
