Documented steps
Identify the product group slug (for example tyres, electronicdisplays) and the EPREL registration number, which can be read from the public product page or from the QR URL pattern https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/qr/{registrationNumber}.
Call GET https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/api/products/{productGroup}/{registrationNumber} with Accept: application/json to retrieve the product JSON. Verified 2026-08-03: this single-record lookup returns HTTP 200 with no API key.
Call GET https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/api/products/{productGroup}/{registrationNumber}/fiches?language=EN for the Product Information Sheet. Verified 2026-08-03: returns HTTP 301 to https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/fiches/{productGroup}/Fiche_{registrationNumber}_{lang}.pdf.
Call GET https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/api/products/{productGroup}/{registrationNumber}/labels for the label bundle. Verified 2026-08-03: returns HTTP 301 to https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/labels/{productGroup}/Labels_{registrationNumber}.zip.
Configure your HTTP client to follow redirects for the fiches and labels calls, since the file body is not returned directly.
Do not call the listing form of the endpoint without credentials. Verified 2026-08-03: GET https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/api/products/{productGroup} returns HTTP 403, confirming that search and listing require authentication.
For search or bulk access, request an API key through the EPREL Request Public API Key form and accept the Public API Terms and Conditions before use.
Respect the licence terms: reproduction, value-added redistribution and derivative research tooling are permitted, but reselling the raw dataset as-is or redistributing it as a standalone product is prohibited.
If caching data locally, refresh it on a schedule; the Terms and Conditions require locally held EPREL data to be kept current.
Design the integration around identifier-based lookups until an approved API key is in hand for search-style endpoints.

Known gotchas
Single-record lookup works anonymously; list and search endpoints return 403 without a key. Discovery-style integrations therefore need the API key even though point lookups do not.
No numeric rate limit is published. The Terms and Conditions instead prohibit disrupting EPREL's functioning or bypassing technical limitations, so treat throttling as real but unstated and back off on 429/403.
The fiches and labels endpoints return HTTP 301 redirects, not file bodies. Clients with redirects disabled will appear to get an empty response.
Models from suppliers who are not verified, or who lost verified status through inactivity, are excluded from API export under Regulation (EU) 2024/994. A valid-looking registration number can still return nothing.
No official OpenAPI or Swagger specification for the public API could be located as of 2026-08-03. The endpoint shapes above were confirmed by live requests, so treat field names beyond those observed as unstable.
Reselling the raw dataset as-is is prohibited by the Public API Terms and Conditions even though commercial value-added use is allowed.
The API key request form renders client-side, so it cannot be completed by a simple HTTP client; expect a browser step and a human turnaround.
