Statistics Canada Data Series by Table and Key (SDMX)

statcansdmx/sdmx-series

One data series from a Statistics Canada table, through its SDMX data service: give the table as a dataflow id (DF_ plus the 8-digit product id, for example DF_17100005) and one member code per dimension, dot separated (1.1.1 is Canada, both genders, all ages in the population estimates). Returns the observations (period and numeric value), the series key by dimension and the series attributes (vector id, scalar factor, decimals, unit code). The newest 12 observations by default, up to 1000. A key that matches no series returns an empty list.
