Complete set · 8 capabilities

The complete data.europa.eu — Publications Office of the EU capability set.

These are the exact actions your AI can choose when you ask it to work with data.europa.eu — Publications Office of the EU.

Capability set01 / 02

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through data.europa.eu — Publications Office of the EU.

  1. 01

    Get dataset details

    Unlike the search rows, this returns every distribution (file) with accessUrl/downloadUrl, format and licence, plus contact points, temporal/spatial coverage and data.europa.eu quality scores (accessible/known licences etc.). Use it as the step right before actually downloading a dataset. Full details for one dataset: all distributions with direct download URLs, formats, licence, contacts and quality measurements

  2. 02

    Find high value datasets

    High-Value Datasets are the six categories the EU considers most valuable for reuse: geospatial, earth observation & environment, meteorological, statistics, companies & company ownership, and mobility. each with special licensing obligations (free, machine-readable, APIs). Use when you want the EU's curated best data for market research, apps or products. Query is MANDATORY. Find EU "High-Value Datasets" (HVD). the datasets the EU mandates member states to provide for free and via APIs

  3. 03

    Find hvd in country

    Great for "what is Portugal legally required to open up?" style questions. Query is MANDATORY. High-Value Datasets from one specific European country (e.g. "pt" Portugal, "de" Germany). curated, API-accessible data

  4. 04

    Search datasets by country

    Use for country-specific questions: national statistics, government spending, environment, transport. Note the portal aggregates national portals, so coverage mirrors what each country publishes. Query is MANDATORY. Search all open datasets. not only HVDs. from one specific European country

Capability set02 / 02

05-08

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through data.europa.eu — Publications Office of the EU.

  1. 05

    Search datasets by format

    G. "csv", "json", "geojson", "xml", "parquet", "shp"). Ideal when an agent needs data it can parse directly instead of PDFs. Query is MANDATORY. Search datasets and see/download only machine-readable formats (CSV, JSON, XML, GeoJSON...)

  2. 06

    List catalogues

    Europa.eu. typically one per country's national open data portal plus thematic sources (EEA, Eurostat, EDP...). Useful for understanding data provenance: a dataset's "catalogue" field links back to one of these. Pass a keyword to try filtering by name substring. Browse the national and thematic catalogues harvested by the portal (one catalogue per source: national portals, EEA, Eurostat...)

  3. 07

    Get portal reference

    Read it before country/HVD workflows if unsure. Reference: what data.europa.eu is, HVD categories, EU country codes and usage tips for the other capabilities

  4. 08

    Search datasets

    Europa.eu, official EU portal aggregating national portals). Each row has: id, title, trimmed description, country, publisher, categories, keywords, dates and the landing page URL. Query is MANDATORY. Combine topic + geography keywords, e.g. "air quality berlin", "tourism statistics portugal", "public transport gtfs". Too many hits? Narrow with search_datasets_by_country or add more specific keywords. Take dataset ids into get_dataset_details for download links. Search 1.9M+ open datasets from 36 European countries in the official data.europa.eu portal. titles, publishers, countries, keywords and download landing pages

FAQ

Questions data.europa.eu — Publications Office of the EU owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need an API key, and is the data free to reuse?

    No key needed. the portal's search API is fully public. Reuse conditions belong to each dataset: most open data is CC-BY or similar, but licences vary per source, so always check the licence field in get_dataset_details before republishing. High-Value Datasets are guaranteed free and machine-readable by EU regulation.

  • 02

    Why does country/format filtering sometimes return fewer rows than requested?

    The portal's public search API does not expose server-side country/format facets, so those capabilities fetch a larger page and filter client-side; when a page contains few matches, results can be sparse. advance the page or refine keywords. The underlying data is all there; it is a pagination artifact, not missing data.
