The BBBZ1 dataflow provides official payments statistics time series published by the Deutsche Bundesbank, Germany's central bank. Data is distributed through the SDMX 2.1 REST API, with a single endpoint supporting multiple formats: SDMX-ML (XML), CSV, and JSON. Users can retrieve specific series by specifying a key path, and can narrow results using startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations parameters. This structured access allows for targeted extraction of payment system and transaction data relevant to economic and financial analysis in Germany, without requiring authentication.Payments Statistics (BBBZ1) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBBZ1 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.
