## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official, Eurostat-sourced European tourism overnight stay statistics — either for a specific country over time or as a cross-country ranking. It is ideal for economic analysis, travel industry research, or monitoring tourism recovery trends in Europe. Prefer it over generic web scraping or travel aggregators when authoritative, citation-ready data with year-on-year change metrics is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country ISO code returns an error or empty result
- Requested months range may extend beyond available Eurostat data, truncating the series
- Data may lag by 1-2 months due to Eurostat publication schedule
- Omitting required body fields may result in a malformed request error
- EA or EU aggregate codes may not be available for all time periods

## How this service works

Monthly nights spent in tourist accommodation (hotels, apartments, campsites) in any European country with year-on-year change; without a country, a ranking for the latest month. Official Eurostat data.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the country name and ISO code, the most recent period's overnight stays count and year-on-year percentage change, a time series array of monthly data points (each with period, overnight stays, and annual change), the Eurostat source citation, and the last update timestamp. When no country is specified, returns a ranking across all European countries for the latest available month.
