- Eurostat exposes Statistics, SDMX 3.0, SDMX 2.1, and Catalogue REST APIs for public data, metadata, and dataset discovery. informative
- Statistics responses use JSON-stat 2.0 while SDMX endpoints offer several formats, so clients must declare and parse the selected representation. informative

- Only the latest version of an observation may be available in some services; retrieval does not prove a stable historical snapshot or legal interpretation. informative
