Fetch dimension definitions and valid coded values for a MakStat PxWeb table. Path must end in the '.px' table id (e.g. 'Naselenie/VencaniRazvedeni/280_VitStat_Brak_voz_ml.px'). Returns dimensions with their codes and value lists — use these to build the selection body for query_table.
query_table
POST a PxWeb query to a MakStat (North Macedonia statistics) table and return observations as json-stat2. body must be {query:[{code, selection:{filter,values}}], response:{format:'json-stat2'}}. PxWeb enforces a cell-count limit — narrow each dimension's values using codes from table_meta to avoid…
