European Central Bank — Euro Short-Term Rate (EST)
Official time series for the Euro Short-Term Rate (€STR), published by the European Central Bank through the ECB Data Portal as the EST dataflow over the SDMX 2.1 REST API. A single endpoint can return data in XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, or JSON formats, allowing users to extract specific series using a key path combined with startPeriod, endPeriod, or lastNObservations filters. The same underlying series can also be browsed and charted interactively on the ECB Data Portal website, making the dataset useful for monitoring short-term euro money market interest rates.Euro Short-Term Rate (EST) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the EST dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST. One endpoint serves XML (SDMX-ML), CSV (?format=csvdata) and JSON (?format=jsondata); extract exactly the series you need with a key path and startPeriod / endPeriod / lastNObservations filters. Browse and chart the same series on the ECB Data Portal.
