Statistics Austria Open Data Portal

Statistics Austria Open Data Portal

Statistik Austria's open-data portal publishes a per-dataset catalog, each dataset retrievable as JSON, CSV or XML via a keyless ogd/json?dataset= endpoint. The portal says (Signal Lab translation in brackets): "Die Datensätze unterliegen der Lizenz "Creative Commons Namensnennung 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)"" [the datasets are subject to the licence Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)].

Coverage

The catalog page lists individual datasets each with a title, last-updated date and CSV/JSON download links (for example corporate-tax statistics by state, foreign-trade statistics and price indices, seen on the catalog page today); the sample fetched via the API, OGDEXT_GEM_1, is an Austrian municipality/administrative-structure dataset with maintainer and licence metadata. History start and update frequency are set per dataset; a portal-wide figure is Not stated.
