Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

get_data_df

✓ from eurostat import get_data_df

✗ import eurostat; eurostat.get_data_df(...)

Works but less conventional; direct import is preferred

EurostatDataset

✓ from eurostat import EurostatDataset

Class-based access; no common mistake

Download dataset 'tps00001' (population) as a pandas DataFrame.

from eurostat import get_data_df df = get_data_df('tps00001') print(df.head())

Debug

Known issues

gotchaEurostat changes dataset IDs and column names without notice; code may break after a few months.

fix

Always check Eurostat API or website for current dataset codes.

affects: all

gotchaLarge datasets may download as multiple files; the package auto-aggregates but can be slow.

fix

Use 'get_data_df' with 'pars=TXT' or filter parameters to limit size.

affects: all

gotchaColumn names are multilingual codes (e.g., 'geo', 'TIME'); you must map them manually.

fix

Use 'columns_rename' parameter or rename after download.

affects: all
