Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Istat It Tools (3)
list_dataflows
Browse or keyword-search ISTAT datasets (dataflows). Each result has an `id` (the dataflowId you pass to get_data / dataflow_structure) and an English name. ISTAT publishes ~4,800 datasets, so always pass `query` to filter unless you really want the whole list. Example: list_dataflows({ query: "une…
dataflow_structure
Get the structure (Data Structure Definition) of one ISTAT dataset: its ordered dimensions and, for each, the valid codes. Use this to learn how to build the dot-separated SDMX key for get_data. The key positions correspond to the dimensions in order; an empty position is a wildcard. Example: dataf…
get_data
Pull observations from an ISTAT dataset. `key` is a dot-separated SDMX dimension filter, one position per dimension in the order given by dataflow_structure; leave a position empty to wildcard it. Example: get_data({ dataflow_id: "101_1015", key: "A.IT...", start_period: "2021", end_period: "2023"…
