/eurostat/wdds/* → endpoint removal

European Commission APIs

Stopped working

On January 1, 2023, the European Commission removed /eurostat/wdds/*. All requests targeting endpoints under /eurostat/wdds/* fail after that day. The provider noted that the services stopped in January 2023 as part of a replacement with a new dissemination API.


Calls it hits

  • /eurostat/wdds/*

What to use instead of these calls

Call the Statistics API (JSON-stat 2.0) using GET /eurostat/api/dissemination/statistics/1.0/data/{datasetCode} instead.

In European Commission APIs's words

The SDMX Web Services (REST and SOAP) as well as the JSON and Unicode Web Services will stop in January 2023. They have been replaced with a new dissemination API.
