Query EU municipal waste generation and treatment statistics from the env_wasgen dataset via the Eurostat Statistics REST API

domain: ec.europa.eu · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗

Steps

  1. Build a GET request to ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api/dissemination/statistics/1.0/data/env_wasgen, where env_wasgen is the dataset code for the waste generation/treatment table
  2. Add format and lang query parameters (lang accepts only EN, FR, or DE; default is EN)
  3. Add optional dimension filters as additional query parameters — any dimension present in the dataset (waste category, hazardousness, NACE Rev. 2 activity, reporting country, year) can be used as a filter
  4. Parse the JSON-stat formatted response, which encodes dimensions and values compactly rather than as a flat table
  5. Use the interactive Swagger UI at ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api/dissemination/swagger-ui to explore available filters before scripting
