How this service works
Annual government deficit (-) or surplus (+) as % of GDP for any European country; without a country, a ranking. Official Eurostat data.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the country name, ISO code, the latest period and balance_pct_gdp value, a historical time series of annual deficit/surplus percentages, the Eurostat data source citation, and the last updated timestamp. When no country is specified, returns a ranked list of all European countries.
Example use cases
Country fiscal health check
“Can you get me Germany's government deficit or surplus as a percentage of GDP from Eurostat for the past 5 years? I want to see the trend.”
EU country deficit ranking
“Show me a ranking of all European countries by their latest annual government deficit as a percentage of GDP — I want to see which countries are most and least fiscally disciplined.”
Eurozone aggregate deficit
“What is the current Eurozone (EA) government deficit as a percentage of GDP according to Eurostat? Just give me the latest figure.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/v1/eu-government-deficit?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need official, Eurostat-sourced annual government deficit or surplus data expressed as a percentage of GDP for EU/EEA member states. Prefer this over general economic data APIs when you specifically need European fiscal balance figures with official provenance (CC BY 4.0). It also uniquely supports returning a cross-country ranking in a single call. For US federal deficit data, use the sibling endpoint covering US federal receipts and outlays instead.
Side effects
- Invalid country ISO code returns an error or empty result
- Requesting a country outside the European statistical area may return no data
- Very recent years may not yet be available in Eurostat's published dataset
- Omitting required fields like 'type', 'method', or 'bodyType' in the input wrapper causes a schema validation error
