European Central Bank — Short-Term Statistics (STS)
Short-Term Statistics (STS) is an official dataset published by the European Central Bank through the ECB Data Portal, covering the euro area and EU member states. Distributed as the STS dataflow over the SDMX 2.1 REST API, it provides economic time series such as prices and short-term economic indicators. A single endpoint serves data in XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON formats, allowing users to extract specific series using key paths and filters such as startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations. The same series can also be browsed and charted directly on the ECB Data Portal website.Short-Term Statistics (STS) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the STS 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.
