# Probe EUMOFA data pages in memory

Source entry: https://signal-lab.qdt.ai/datasets/eumofa-fisheries-aquaculture-market
Provider: https://www.eumofa.eu/en/data
Checked against the provider's documentation: 2026-11-06

## Access
- No key stated on the checked EUMOFA pages for dashboards / bulk download.

## Request
```bash
curl -L -o eumofa-bulk.html 'https://www.eumofa.eu/bulk-download'
```

## Format
HTML bulk-download and dashboard pages; bulk files follow the links on the Commission observatory host.

## Load into pandas (in memory)
Needs Python 3 with requests and pandas. The provider's terms limit storage or leave it unclear, so this snippet does not write a file.
```python
"""Probe EUMOFA data and bulk-download pages in memory (writes no file)."""
import requests
import pandas as pd
rows = []
for url in ("https://www.eumofa.eu/en/data", "https://www.eumofa.eu/bulk-download"):
    r = requests.get(url, timeout=60, allow_redirects=True)
    r.raise_for_status()
    rows.append({"url": url, "final": r.url, "status": r.status_code, "bytes": len(r.content)})
df = pd.DataFrame(rows)
print(df.to_string(index=False))
print("Download specific bulk files from the observatory bulk-download page; attribute European Commission / EUMOFA under CC BY 4.0.")

```
Run by us on 2026-11-06 (python 3 | requests). Result: EUMOFA data and bulk-download URLs returned HTTP 200 on 2026-11-06 (bulk may redirect to fishery-aquaculture-market-observatory.ec.europa.eu).

## Limits
- Not stated numeric rate limit on the checked pages.

## Quirks
- Bulk file formats and names change; always start from the official bulk-download page.
- Commission legal notice: EU-owned website content is CC BY 4.0 unless otherwise indicated.
- This snippet writes no file; it only probes the HTML entry points in memory.

## Terms and attribution

- EUMOFA provides dashboards, supply-balance sheet and bulk download for EU fisheries and aquaculture market data; this probe does not store bulk files.
