Destatis Open Data (Federal Statistical Office of Germany)

Coverage
Germany: official statistics as publication spreadsheets, plus keyless GENESIS catalogue methods.
Good for
Verdict
An official German statistics source for spreadsheets and table metadata, alongside destatis-press-rss (news only). Licence: DL-DE-BY-2.0: the Open Data page says "The statistical data can be reused in compliance with the Data Licence Germany 2.0 conditions." and the API page says "GENESIS-Online can be used free of charge and without registering under the "Data Licence Germany - Namensnennung - Version 2.0"." GENESIS table and data methods returned 401 without access data, so they are not the card link. Rate limits: Not stated. Signal Lab links only.
