Democratizing Data: A deep dive into Eurostat Open Database
summary
Shows how the Eurostat web UI and the JRC-developed eurostat Python library combine: use get_toc/get_toc_df to discover datasets, use get_data_df (with dataset code or string filter) to load a pandas DataFrame, preserves the flags column, and plots results — example pulls immigration data and plots Italy→Spain 2023 arrivals by gender. Data sits under Creative Commons, geographic granularity is national/state-level, and the provided notebook runs end-to-end.
