API for open data
Norges Bank's API for open data offers programmatic access to selected datasets published by the bank. The service is implemented as a REST interface for querying data and metadata and offers a variety of formats for the retrieved data. The service is free to use and requires no authentication.
The service is based on the Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMX) standard and adheres to the SDMX 2.1 RESTful web service specification .
SDMX is sponsored by seven international organisations, including the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the European Central Bank (ECB), Eurostat (Statistical Office of the European Union), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations Statistical Division (UNSD), and the World Bank.
More information about the SDMX standard can be found on sdmx.org.
