Redan idag finns det en betaversion av PxWebApi 2.0. 

Via PxWebAPI 1.0 får du tillgång till valfri tabell eller del av tabell från Statistikdatabasen. Du hittar också exempel på användning samt vanliga frågor om API (Application Programming Interface).

Statistikdatabasens gränssnitt ligger i PxWeb där PxAPI 1.0 är en del. Du kan använda API:et utan att du registrerar dig.

Please note! On October 26, 2022, we introduced mandatory https for the API. If you get metadata instead of data in the table, it is because http is rerouting the call to GET. You can fix this by redirecting your calls to https instead of http.

Examples

Show all subject area in English in the Statistical Database:

https://api.scb.se/OV0104/v1/doris/en/ssd/

Show all sub-levels for the subject area Population:

https://api.scb.se/OV0104/v1/doris/en/ssd/BE

Show the metadata for the table:

https://api.scb.se/OV0104/v1/doris/en/ssd/BE/BE0101/BE0101A/BefolkningNy 

Download Sweden's population for the years 2011 and 2012. Make an http POST request to:

https://api.scb.se/OV0104/v1/doris/en/ssd/BE/BE0101/BE0101A/BefolkningNy

and as data, the JSON request is used below

You can now get help to formulate questions to the Statistical Database API. Make your data retrieval in the Statistical Database user interface. On the page that shows the table, click on the API link for this table. This will give you information about the URL and the query that you need to send to retrieve the same data with the API.
