EU Open Data Portal

EU Open Data Portal Statistics API

The hub statistics service exposes portal-wide counts over time — datasets per category, per catalogue, per country, per format and per licence — behind a Swagger 2.0 contract served from a Flask/flask-apispec application. Read operations are public; the maintenance reset operation requires an X-API-KEY header.
