The API exposes different endpoints for different purposes:
CATALOGUE, which is used for data discovery;
- STATISTICS, which replaces Eurostat JSON web service;
SDMX 2.1, used for synchronous metadata and data queries;
ASYNC, used for asynchronous data delivery.
...
API Statistics is a web service for data query where parameters don’t have to respect a specific order opposed to API SDMX 2.1.
This Web Service:
provides data in JSON-stat 2.0 format;
supports only REpresentation State Transfer (REST) protocol;
delivers responses in English, French or German.
...
The asynchronous delivery process can be summarized as follows:
Step 1. A client issues a request to one of these asynchronous endpoints: CATALOGUE, SDMX 2.1. The API returns a response indicating asynchronous delivery pattern, with a unique key
Step 2. The client issues to the asynchronous endpoint at regular interval a request with the unique key, to enquire about the availability readiness of the requested data
Step 3. Once the data is available, the client receives the data attached in the response to the request for the unique key
...
The initial request must be sent to one of the asynchronous endpoints mentioned above.
The response to such a request is structured as follows:
