Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No, the API is fully public and free — no registration, no key.
What data does this API return?
Thousands of statistical series comparable across EU countries — economy, demographics, labour market, trade, environment — filterable by country, period, and other dimensions of a given dataset.
Can this API be called directly from a browser?
Yes — the API returns a CORS header allowing calls from any domain, so it works straight from frontend code (hence the live "Try it" button above).
Who runs this API?
