Regular data download
Simple download
The Quick View offers an additional download functionality, which can be used to automate regular data download. Below are the steps to follow in order to establish the links:
- find the key of the series you want to download. It is always displayed on a Quick View page, in the second line of "Series Level Information" section, and on a Data Selection page next to the series’ title. For example the series key of US dollar/euro exchange rate is:
SERIES_KEY=EXR.D.USD.EUR.SP00.A - choose the format of the file which you would like to get the data in
- csv : Comma Separated
- sdmx : SDMX-ML compact data format
- create an "export URL" i.e. combine the base URL of the quick view export
http://sdw.ecb.europa.eu/quickviewexport.do?with the parameters set in steps 1) and 2), use&between the parameters.
For example: http://sdw.ecb.europa.eu/quickviewexport.do?SERIES_KEY=EXR.D.USD.EUR.SP00.A&type=csv
It is also possible to restrict the date range by setting start and/or end parameters. For example: http://sdw.ecb.int/quickviewexport.do?SERIES_KEY=EXR.D.USD.EUR.SP00.A&type=csv&start=01-01-2008&end=01-03-2008
