European Central Bank — Financial market data (FM)
Official time series on euro area financial markets, published by the European Central Bank as the FM dataflow through its Data Portal. Data is served over the SDMX 2.1 REST API from a single endpoint, with output available as SDMX-ML (XML), CSV, or JSON depending on the format parameter. Users can extract specific series using a key path combined with startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations filters. The same series can also be browsed and charted interactively on the ECB Data Portal, making the dataset useful for analysts tracking interest rates, bond yields, and other financial market indicators.Financial market data (FM) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the FM dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
