European Central Bank — International Reserves of the Eurosystem (RA)
Official time series dataset on International Reserves of the Eurosystem, published by the European Central Bank as the RA dataflow through its Data Portal. Data are distributed via an SDMX 2.1 REST endpoint supporting XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON formats, with series selectable by key path and filterable using startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations parameters. The same series can also be browsed and charted interactively on the ECB Data Portal. The dataset provides a euro-area-wide view of official reserve assets, useful for monetary and macroeconomic analysis.International Reserves of the Eurosystem (RA) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the RA 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.
