Eurostat Statistics and Charts

About Eurostat APIs

Eurostat provides a powerful REST API for accessing a wide range of European statistics in machine-readable formats. The API allows you to query datasets by specifying dataset codes and filters directly in the URL. Data is returned in JSON or other formats for easy integration and visualization.

Dataset Example: tour_occ_ninat

The tour_occ_ninat dataset provides statistics on nights spent at tourist accommodations by country and other dimensions. You can filter the data using URL parameters:

  • geo: Country code (e.g., DE for Germany, FR for France)
  • unit: Unit of measurement (e.g., NR for number of nights)
  • c_resid: Country of residence (e.g., TOTAL for all residents)
  • nace_r2: Type of accommodation (e.g., I551 for hotels)

Example URL:

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api/dissemination/statistics/1.0/data/tour_occ_ninat?format=JSON&geo=DE&geo=EL&geo=FR&geo=IT&unit=NR&c_resid=TOTAL&nace_r2=I551&lang=en

Eurostat API URL

After entering a valid Eurostat API URL above, the chart will update to visualize the data you requested. You can explore different datasets by changing the URL.

How to Use Filters in Eurostat URLs

To customize your data request, add filter parameters to the API URL. You can specify multiple values for a filter by repeating the parameter (e.g., &geo=DE&geo=FR for Germany and France). Common filters include:

  • time: Year or period (e.g., time=2023)
  • sex: Gender (e.g., sex=M for male, sex=F for female)
  • age: Age group (e.g., age=Y15-24)

Combine filters to refine your query and get exactly the data you need for your analysis or visualization.
