About GENESIS
GENESIS-Online is a database maintained by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis) containing tables that users can configure according to their needs. Access is free of charge and does not require registration, under the "Data Licence Germany - Namensnennung - Version 2.0"; all users have access to the same range of data.
The service offers a RESTful/JSON web service interface (API) for integrating the GENESIS-Online data stock into automated processes, intended for software systems that exchange data programmatically rather than for direct human interaction. A separate web interface allows users to view tables and download results in XLSX or CSV ("Flat File CSV Format"), with data and metadata provided in a structured, consistent "tidy data" form.
This resource is aimed at developers and organizations that need programmatic or manual access to German federal statistical data for integration into applications or further data processing.
