WHAT IT DOES

What bundesbank-timeseries.series.data does on Apibase

AI agents call bundesbank-timeseries.series.data to retrieve information from Apibase without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`key`	string	Yes	REQUIRED fully dot-specified SDMX series key in dimension position order, from bundesbank-timeseries.structure (e.g. "D.USD.EUR.BB.AC.000" for the daily EUR/USD
`end_period`	string	—	End of period range, e.g. "2024" (annual) or "2024-12-31" (daily). Takes precedence over last_n_observations when set.
`dataflow_id`	string	Yes	Bundesbank dataflow id, from bundesbank-timeseries.dataflows (e.g. "BBEX3" for exchange rates).
`start_period`	string	—	Start of period range, e.g. "2020" (annual) or "2020-01-01" (daily). Takes precedence over last_n_observations when set.
`last_n_observations`	integer	—	Return only the most recent N observations (max 100, default 30). Ignored if start_period or end_period is set.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Get observation values for a Bundesbank dataflow (dataflow_id from bundesbank-timeseries.dataflows). key is REQUIRED and must be a fully dot-specified SDMX series key with no empty segments (from bundesbank-timeseries.structure), e.g. "D.USD.EUR.BB.AC.000" for the daily EUR/USD reference rate — an unscoped key would match every series in the dataflow and is rejected. Control the time range with start_period/ end_period or last_n_observations (max 100). Data: api.statistiken.bundesbank.de (Bundesbank SDMX 2.1 REST API), no auth required. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does bundesbank-timeseries.series.data accept? +

bundesbank-timeseries.series.data accepts 5 parameters: key, end_period, dataflow_id, start_period, last_n_observations. Required: key, dataflow_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
