European Central Bank — Interest rate statistics (IRS)
Interest rate statistics (IRS) is an official time-series dataset published by the European Central Bank via its Data Portal, distributed as the IRS dataflow over 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, or lastNObservations filters. The same series can also be browsed and charted interactively on the ECB Data Portal website. The dataset covers euro area and EU interest rate statistics, useful for economic and financial analysis.Interest rate statistics (IRS) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the IRS dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
