Monthly trade data by HS code #7
-
|
I'm looking to automate monthly downloads of EU trade data. The database DS-045409 seems to be the right one, as I need data by 1) individual EU reporter, 2) individual partner (not necessarily in the EU), 3) by month), and 4) by HS code. Is this database available through the restatapi package? It seems like the Comext tables are differently built than the other Eurostat tables, and I'm wondering if there's still a way to download them. |

@tortugaantigua the COMEXT trade data does not disseminated through the standard SDMX web API so the restatapi will not be able to download for you. You have to download manually the monthly zip files following these instructions: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/estat-navtree-portlet-prod/BulkDownloadListing?sort=1&file=comext%2Fbulk_download%2FInstructions+on+how+to+use+the+bulkdownload+facility.pdf |

Thanks for the response! Is that functionality something that restatapi might implement in the future? |
