DatasetExecutable4/7Query nowOpen workbench Subscribe🇪🇺European

Official time series dataset from the European Central Bank Data Portal covering national accounts under the ESA95 (European System of Accounts) framework, published as the ESA dataflow via the SDMX 2.1 REST API. A single endpoint serves data in XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON formats, allowing users to extract specific series using a key path together with startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations filters. The same series can also be browsed and charted interactively on the ECB Data Portal. The dataset is maintained by the European Central Bank and covers economic accounts across the euro area and EU member states.ESA95 National Accounts (ESA) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the ESA dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
