Slovakia DATAcube Statistics Scraper

Slovakia DATAcube Statistics Scraper

Scrape official Slovak statistics from DATAcube by table ID, with full control over language and query filters. Every row is a flat record ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML. No API key, no registration, no rate-limit headaches.

Slovakia's official statistics portal, DATAcube, publishes thousands of datasets from the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, but its web interface is built for browsing, not bulk export. This Actor reads the public PxWeb API directly, so you can pull any table by its ID, filter with a JSON query, and get every matching row in one fixed schema. It works for population, economy, labour, education, and hundreds of other official indicators.

Who uses it	What they scrape Slovakia DATAcube for
Data journalists	Pull official population or economy figures for a story without manual downloads
Market researchers	Get regional demographic or labour statistics for Slovakia in bulk
Public policy analysts	Track official indicators over time for reports and dashboards
Academic researchers	Collect consistent, citable datasets from the national statistics office

What it does

This Actor collects rows from a Slovakia DATAcube statistics table by table ID and returns each row as a flat record.

• 🔢 Table ID input: pass any DATAcube table identifier, like om2024rs, and get every member of every dimension for the latest period by default
• 🌐 Language selection: return labels and metadata in English or Slovak
• 🎯 Query JSON filtering: pick member codes per dimension, as a plain object or a PxWeb-style selection array, to select specific regions, periods, or variables
• 📦 Flat row output: every statistic becomes one row, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML export

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Configure the run

Drive the Actor with a DATAcube table ID, optionally add a JSON query to select specific dimensions, and set the response language. The maximum rows limit controls how many statistics rows are returned. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

{
 "tableId": "om2024rs",
 "maxItems": 10
}

A larger pull:

{
 "tableId": "om2024rs",
 "maxItems": 200
}

A filtered pull. Dimension names accept the full id (om2024rs_rok) or its suffix (rok), and values are member codes, not labels. Dimensions you leave out return every member, except the time dimension, which defaults to the latest period:

{
 "tableId": "om2024rs",
 "maxItems": 200,
 "query": "{\"rok\":[\"2024\",\"2025\"],\"vek\":[\"08vekr000\",\"08vekr001\",\"08vekr002\"]}"
}

The same selection in PxWeb style: [{"code":"om2024rs_rok","selection":{"filter":"item","values":["2024","2025"]}}]. Member codes for any dimension are listed by the official API, for example https://data.statistics.sk/api/v2/dataset/om2024rs/x/x/x/all?lang=en for the age dimension of om2024rs. A value that matches no member code stops the run with an error row naming the dimension and its first codes.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Slovakia DATAcube through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the table ID is correct and that your Query JSON does not filter out all values. Try leaving the query empty to see if the table returns any rows at all.

Why does the run fail with an error?

The upstream DATAcube API may be temporarily unavailable or the table ID may be invalid. Verify the ID on the official website and retry after a few minutes.

Why do I only get 10 rows?

Free users are limited to a 10-row preview. Upgrade to a paid plan and set maxItems to a higher value to get more rows.

Why are the labels in English when I wanted Slovak?

Set the lang input to sk. If the table itself has no Slovak labels, the API will return whatever is available.

Why is my Query JSON not working?

The query must be valid JSON: either an object mapping dimension names to arrays of member codes, or a PxWeb-style array of selection objects. Invalid JSON is ignored with a warning. Values must be member codes (08vekr000), not labels (0). A code that matches nothing stops the run with an error row that lists the first valid codes of that dimension.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Where do I find the table ID?	Open the dataset on the DATAcube website. The table ID is the short code in the URL, for example om2024rs. You can also browse the official API catalogue.
Can I get data in Slovak?	Yes. Set the language input to sk and all labels and metadata will be returned in Slovak.
How do I filter the results?	Use the Query JSON input. It accepts a plain object of dimension names to member codes, or a PxWeb-style array of selection objects. Leave it empty to get every member for the latest period.
What is the maximum number of rows?	Free users get a 10-row preview. Paid users can set maxItems up to 1,000,000 rows per run.
Do I need an API key?	No. The Actor uses the public PxWeb endpoint of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, which requires no authentication.
What format is the output?	Each statistics row is returned as a flat record. You can export the dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from Apify.
Can I scrape multiple tables at once?	This Actor handles one table per run. To scrape multiple tables, run it once per table ID or use Apify's scheduler to run several configurations.
Is this legal?	Yes. DATAcube is a public service of the Slovak government, and the data is published for public use. Always check the terms of use for any specific dataset.
What if the table ID is wrong?	The Actor will return an error from the upstream API. Double-check the ID on the DATAcube website and try again.
Can I get historical data?	Yes, if the table contains historical values. Use the Query JSON to select specific time periods.
