European Central Bank — PEM dataflow
Official statistical time series published by the European Central Bank as the PEM dataflow, part of the ECB Data Portal. The data covers economic and price-related indicators and is delivered through a single SDMX 2.1 REST endpoint, supporting multiple output formats (XML/SDMX-ML, CSV, and JSON) selectable via query parameters. Users can filter results by series key-path and by time period, allowing targeted retrieval of specific indicators or date ranges. The dataset is freely accessible without authentication and is intended for researchers, analysts, and developers needing programmatic access to euro area economic statistics maintained by the ECB.Official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the PEM dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST. One endpoint serves XML (SDMX-ML), CSV (?format=csvdata) and JSON (?format=jsondata), with key-path and period filters.
