Deutsche Bundesbank — Consumer Prices of foreign countries (incl. ECOICOP2) (BBXP2)
Time series dataset from the Deutsche Bundesbank providing consumer price statistics for foreign countries, classified according to the European Classification of Individual Consumption according to Purpose (ECOICOP2). Published as the BBXP2 dataflow through the Bundesbank's SDMX 2.1 REST API, it allows retrieval of specific series via a key path combined with startPeriod, endPeriod, or lastNObservations filters. Data can be obtained in XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, or JSON format from a single endpoint, supporting comparative analysis of international consumer price developments alongside German economic and price statistics maintained by the Bundesbank.Consumer Prices of foreign countries (incl. ECOICOP2) (BBXP2) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBXP2 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.
