SDMX (Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange) is an international standard for exchanging statistical data. The ECB, Eurostat, IMF, World Bank, and other institutions use SDMX for their APIs. Data is organized in dataflows → dimensions → observations.

Do I need an API key to access this data?

No, the ECB Statistical Data Warehouse public API is completely open and free. There is no authentication or token required to fetch any of the datasets provided.

How often is the statistical data updated?

The data is updated in real-time according to the ECB's official publishing schedule. Daily exchange rates typically update around 16:00 CET.
