Deutsche Bundesbank — general Structural Indicators (BBZVSSSI)
This dataset provides the general Structural Indicators (BBZVSSSI) time series published by the Deutsche Bundesbank, Germany's central bank, as part of its official statistics on economy and prices. The data is distributed as an SDMX 2.1 REST dataflow, with a single endpoint offering multiple formats: XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON. Users can query the API to extract specific series by specifying a key path along with startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations filters, allowing precise retrieval of structural indicator data over defined time ranges. Access is free and does not require authentication.general Structural Indicators (BBZVSSSI) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBZVSSSI 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.
