Getting Started with DBnomics data in MATLAB®

Description

This interface allows users to access DBnomics data directly from MATLAB. DBnomics is a free platform to aggregate publicly-available economic data provided by national and international statistical institutions, but also by researchers and private companies.

System Requirements

• MATLAB R2022a or later

Features

Users can retrieve DBnomics data directly from MATLAB. DBnomics documentation for Datasets, Last Updates, Providers, Search, and Series requests can be found here:

https://api.db.nomics.world/v22/apidocs#/

A valid DBnomics connection is required for all requests. Users can retrieve information required to make subsequent data requests.

Create a DBnomics connection.

c = dbnomics;

Retrieve providers and datasets information

Get all available datasets information for a provider or information for a specific dataset

d = datasets(c,"ECB");
d = datasets(c,"ECB","AME");

Get last update date information for providers and datasets

d = lastupdates(c);

Get providers information

d = providers(c);
d = providers(c,"ECB");

Search for datasets information with optional query text

d = search(c);
d = search(c,q="Food and Agriculture");

Get a list of series for providers and datasets

d = series(c);
d = series(c,"ECB");
d = series(c,"ECB","AME");
d = series(c,"ECB","AME","A.AUT.1.0.0.0.OVGD");

Use API flags to filter requested data. For example,

d = datasets(c,"ECB","",limit=50)
d = lastupdates(c,"datasets.limit",10,"providers.limit",5)
d = providers(c,"",limit=100,offset=50)
d = search(c,q="Food and Agriculture",limit=50,offset=10)
d = series(c,"","","",limit=100)
