If necessary, you can also specify options for the download or change the selection of time series. For the latter, enter the Bundesbank keys for the time series in the appropriate text fields or delete the time series keys that have already been entered. Then click on “Update selection”. You can delete all of the time series that have been entered by clicking on “Delete all”.

    Start the download.

    You can then receive the CSV or SDMX-ML files on the results page that is displayed.For each time series selected there is a single file; there are also specific package files for monthly series, quarterly series, annual series and for weekly series and daily series. Use the link there to add the results page to your favourites so that you can repeat the download at a later date.

    Download options

    You can limit the timespan for the time series. The standard and default setting for direct downloads is the entire timespan available.

    You can choose between English CSV (entries are separated by commas, a full stop is used as the decimal separator) or German CSV (entries are separated by semicolons; a comma is used as the decimal separator). The standard and default language for direct downloads is the language that you have chosen for the display. Please note that the language you select determines whether your Excel program will display the file correctly after opening it.

    Carry out the following steps to set the language for the download.

    1. If you are using the package download function via the download form, you can specify your desired CSV language ("German" or "English") on the download form.
    2. If you are using the direct download function via the "Download (CSV)" link, you will receive a German CSV if you click on the link from the German page, and an English CSV if you access the link from the English version of the same page.
  • Direct download of Real-time data

    You can download our real-time data indicators directly by clicking on the download link "CSV" or "SDMX-ML 2.1" in the indicator list or on the indicators display page.

    The language used is dependent on the language of the page via which you requested the file.

  • Data basket-download of Real-time data

    Data basket

    Using the "data basket" function, you can display a list (in tabular format) of all the indicators that you have selected.You can access the indicator itself by clicking on the relevant indicator key.You can use the "arrow up" and "arrow down" buttons to rearrange the sorting order of the list. You can remove indicators from the list by ticking the relevant checkboxes and then clicking "Remove selected items".

    By selecting a download option , you will be redirected to a page where you can define the criteria for the file that you wish to download.

    Download options

    Depending on the selected format, this page shows the options for a matrix or snapshot download.

    The standard file format is CSV and the standard language is the language of the page. Please note that the language you select determines whether your Excel program displays the file correctly after opening it.

    You can choose between English CSV (entries are separated by commas, a period is used as the decimal separator) or Excel, or German CSV (entries are separated by semicolons, a comma is used as the decimal separator) or Excel.

    In the "Reporting periods" (rows) section, you can set a limit on the period for which the indicators are to be displayed (entry format: yyyy-mm).These will then appear as rows in the resulting CSV or Excel file. The default setting is the entire period available.

    The "Adjust limits" option can be selected only if a period was selected beforehand.

    CSV format

    CSV is a text-based format which can be read by conventional spreadsheet programs such as Excel. In CSV format, there is one download file for each sheet.

    Excel format

    In Excel format, the sheets belonging to a download are made available in an Excel workbook.

    Download in matrix format

    All the desired vintages of an indicator are listed next to each other in ascending order, thereby forming a matrix.Each of these vintages is generated as a new worksheet in the download file.

    The worksheet name of the Excel file and the name of the CSV file correspond to the key of the entered indicator. The column heading corresponds to the publication date of a vintage and is displayed in the format yyyy-mm-dd. The row heading corresponds to the observation period and has the format yyyy-mm or yyyy-mm-dd. In the case of a vintage, the attributes are issued at first, followed by the values.

    Download in snapshot format

    For each indicator of the export list, the vintage that was available at the given date is selected. These are issued next to each other on a worksheet. There is one sheet for each snapshot time that was specified in the download options.

    The worksheet name of the Excel file and the name of the CSV file correspond to the given snapshot date and has the format yyyy-mm-dd.

    The complete key appears as the column heading. The row description corresponds to the observation period and has the format yyyy-mm or yyyy-mm-dd.

    For each vintage, the attribute are issued first, followed by the values.

    In the snapshot format, it may be the case that that different frequencies are written next to each other on a single worksheet. If so, the vintages share the date column and are always given in the format yyyy-mm. The date column is geared to the lowest available frequency.

    In an Excel file, all the sheets belonging to the download are made available in a workbook.There is one tabular sheet for each frequency.

    In CSV format, an individual CSV file is issued for each frequency.

  • Downloading a CSV file

    Statistical time series can be downloaded individually or in packages directly from the Bundesbank SDMX Web Service. Alternatively, it is possible to download CSV files from a URL (…/statistic-rmi/StatisticDownload).

    Details on the structure of a Bundesbank SDMX Web Service request are described in the help for the Bundesbank SDMX Web Service.

    To download statistical time series in a CSV file via “…/statistic-rmi/StatisticDownload”, the corresponding URL must be structured as follows:

    https://www.bundesbank.de/statistic-rmi/StatisticDownload?tsId=Zeitreihenschlüssel1&tsId=Zeitreihenschlüssel2&mode=its&its_csvFormat=
    de&its_currency=default&its_dateFormat=default&its_from=&its_to=

    After StatisticDownload?, the section tsId=Zeitreihenschlüssel indicates the relevant time series key. The next part of the URL contains additional download parameters (see below). The time series keys and optional parameters are separated from each other using the & character.

    Parameter

    Parameter description

  • Downloading the metadata

    The Bundesbank also provides a function to download metadata for a DSI, where the chosen DSI (data set identifier) is incorporated in the URL. A file downloaded in this way carries the name of the corresponding data structure definition* with the ending ".xml", for example "BBK_ACIP.xml".

    * Further information on SDMX and the corresponding terms can be found at http://www.sdmx.org

    The URL should be structured as follows

    https://www.bundesbank.de/statistic-rmi/StatisticDownload?metaDSI=

    A summary of all DSIs can be found at

    https://www.bundesbank.de/dynamic/action/en/homepage/search/statistics/
    749202/macro-economic-time-series

    The content of the XML file indicates how a systematic time series key is structured based on the internationally applied SDMX definition and also which possible parameter values a key component can have.

    Example

    • All time series in the BBNZ1 DSI:
      https://www.bundesbank.de/statistic-rmi/StatisticDownload?metaDSI=BBNZ1

    *Further information on SDMX and the corresponding terms can be found at

    • sdmx

      sdmx.org

  • Downloading list of the time series updated

    The Bundesbank provides lists of time series containing those time series that were updated during a specific time period. By specifying one of the time periods listed in the following table after "&its_date=", you can download an XML file which contains a list of the time series updated in the respective time period. This file will be named "BBK-Download-<time period>.xml".
