Open data with API
Statistics Norway now has a beta version of an API (Application Programming Interface) for users to quickly and easily retrieve and integrate Statistics Norway’s data with their own systems.
An API is a programming interface that enables programs and websites to integrate data sets. The formats available in Statistics Norway’s beta version are CSV (semicolon separate files) and JSON (Javascript Object Notation). The JSON-stat framework (which was specially developed for statistical tables) is used for JSON.
Figures temporarily unavailable during update
StatBank is updated at 07:30, 09:15 and 20:00, during which time the tables are temporarily unavailable for up to five minutes.
Figures which are being revised emerge as ‘0’ or ‘:’ between 09:15 and 10:00.
Most popular tables in StatBank
The most commonly used and popular tables in StatBank will be available in the beta version. A total of 108 complete data sets are available.
When selecting data sets, we have focused on the data sets being relevant and not too big, thus making it possible to calculate monthly and annual changes.
The API is available to everyone and does not require registration
We would like your feedback , particularly if you use the data sets to create new services or apps.
Data sets are subject to the terms of NLOD
All of the data sets are subject to the terms of the Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD), which means that Statistics Norway must always be quoted as the source when using data sets.
