The six tools
Every tool only reads. Each answer carries the figure, the period it refers to, the source, the reuse terms and, where the site has a page for the figure, the address of that page.
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
Inflation rate by country and month get_inflation | Annual inflation rate (HICP, Eurostat) of one European country, the euro area or the EU in one month, with core, energy, food and services inflation for the same month. Without a month it returns the latest published month and says whether that figure is still a flash estimate. Monthly, up to 20 years back. |
ECB key interest rates get_ecb_rates | The European Central Bank's three key interest rates (deposit facility, main refinancing operations, marginal lending facility) with the date each took effect and the previous rate, plus the forward rates the AAA euro-area government bond curve implies for 3 months to 2 years ahead. |
Minimum wage and average salary get_wages | The national statutory minimum wage (gross, euro per month, the rate in force on 1 January or 1 July) and the average full-time adjusted gross annual salary of one European country, from Eurostat. Says so when a country has no statutory minimum wage. |
Petrol and diesel prices get_fuel_prices | The latest weekly consumer pump price of petrol (Euro-super 95) and diesel in one EU country, in euro per litre including taxes, from the European Commission's Weekly Oil Bulletin: the change on the previous week and on a year earlier, the price in the national currency for countries outside the euro, and the EU average and the cheapest and most expensive country of the same week. |
Electricity spot prices today and tomorrow get_electricity_spot_prices | Day-ahead wholesale electricity prices for a Danish or Swedish bidding zone (DK1, DK2, SE3, SE4) for today or tomorrow: the day's average, the lowest and highest interval, the price now and the hourly averages, in euro per MWh and in the local currency per kWh. Before VAT, tax and grid fees. Data: Energinet, CC BY 4.0. |
Compare European countries on one indicator compare_countries | Ranks European countries by the latest figure of one indicator: inflation, unemployment, GDP growth, minimum wage, average salary, petrol and diesel prices, household electricity and gas prices, mortgage and deposit rates, government debt, house prices and more. Each row has the country, the value and the period it refers to. |
Sources and reuse
The figures are official statistics that euroflation collects from their publishers: Eurostat (inflation, wages, household energy, labour, growth, housing), the European Commission's business and consumer surveys (sentiment and confidence, published by Eurostat), the European Central Bank (interest rates, yields, bank rates), the European Commission's Weekly Oil Bulletin (fuel prices, CC BY 4.0; the bulletin's euro per 1,000 litres is divided by 1,000) and Energinet (day-ahead electricity prices, CC BY 4.0; Source: Energinet (www.energidataservice.dk); euroflation averages the quarter-hours and converts euro per MWh with the ECB reference rate). One series is euroflation's own calculation: the 10-year spread over the German Bund, from ECB yields (CC BY 4.0). Each answer states the terms that apply to it.
Not available through the connector: the Brent crude price and the OECD house price ratios.
How each series is collected is on the Sources page; the same figures as files are on the Open data page.
Limits
- Up to 300 requests a minute from one address and 900 from all callers together. Requests made through Claude on the web come from Anthropic's addresses and share that allowance. Over the limit the server answers 429 and says how many seconds to wait.
- One request carries one message; batches are refused.
- The figures are as fresh as the site: the official sources are read twice a day, and tomorrow's electricity prices arrive after the daily auction, usually between 13:00 and 14:00 Central European Time.
- It returns statistics, not advice. An electricity price here is the wholesale price before VAT, tax and grid fees.
Privacy
When you use the connector in a hosted assistant such as Claude on the web, the request reaches euroflation from the provider's servers. It carries the tool and its parameters (for example a country and a month), not your account, your IP address or your conversation. A program that runs on your own device connects directly, so euroflation then receives your IP address, as for a page visit. The content of requests is not stored. Details are in the privacy notice.
Use of the connector is covered by the terms of use.
