# /eurostat/SDMX/diss-web/* stops working

Calls to /eurostat/SDMX/diss-web/* on European Commission APIs stopped working on January 1, 2023.

On January 1, 2023, the European Commission stopped support for the /eurostat/SDMX/diss-web/* endpoints. All calls made to these endpoints after this date fail. This change removed the older SDMX Web Services as part of a transition to a new dissemination API.

## What to use instead

Call the SDMX 2.1 dissemination API instead using GET /eurostat/api/dissemination/sdmx/2.1/data/{flow}.
