Read this first for a quick report. Returns the short-report workflow: resolve a product code, then call `get_full_report` for the five most important report sections in one shot -- enough for a quick…
Read this first for an in-depth report. Returns the long-report workflow: which of the 35+ tools to combine per angle (partners, concentration, volatility & shocks, autonomy), the dashboard menu/tab s…
Reference data for reporters/partners: selectable EU/Euro-area/member states, named partner presets, predefined reporter/partner groups, and per-language country-name translations. Use this to find va…
List all top-level Combined Nomenclature chapters (2-digit codes). Bootstraps browsing the nomenclature top-down; drill into a chapter with `get_subtree`.
Return the Combined Nomenclature sub-tree rooted at `code` (its children, and their children, ...), each with a `code` and a `text` description. Use this to see whether a heading you're about to use (…
Validate and describe one or more Combined Nomenclature codes. For a single code, returns the full hierarchy of description levels (`levels`), the resolved `product_name`, and `has_subcodes`. For a c…
Keyword/code search over the Combined Nomenclature (or PRODCOM). Returns ranked `{code, label, path}` candidates. Prefer `resolve_product_code` for a one-call keyword-or-code helper; use this directl…
Return the period coverage (`data_min`/`data_max`, 'YYYY-MM') actually cached for the given product code(s) -- use before picking `period_start`/`period_end` so you don't request an empty window.
Headline figures: total import/export quantities, values and weighted-average prices per period, the trade balance, and a top-partner breakdown. The best first call for any new product/reporter slice.
Per-partner import/export breakdown. For each flow, the top-N trading partners ranked both by quantity and by value (so you can compare volume-based vs. value-based rankings), each with its own quanti…
Per-EU-member-state import/export breakdown -- the reporter-side counterpart of `get_partner_detail`. Top-N member states (by quantity and by value) with their quantity, value and price series. Aggreg…
Every EU reporter ranked by value for one year -- the country-view counterpart of `get_reporter_detail`. Returns a single-year snapshot (every real EU member state's quantity, value and price per flow…
Choropleth-ready aggregates: per-period totals (quantity, value, price) for imports and exports, keyed by GISCO country code on both the reporter and partner sides.
Just the ordered list of top entities for a slice -- no time series. A lightweight helper for populating entity pickers or quickly checking who the top partners/reporters are without pulling full seri…
EU27 and per-country PRODCOM production series: EU quantity, EU production unit value, and the same two per reporting country (all DS-059358 reporters, not just EU-27, since production data carries no…
Sub-product comparison: for a single parent CN code, expands into its children (or, for a multi-code request, compares the entered codes directly) and returns per-subcode quantity/value/price series f…
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) of trade concentration across partners or member states, per period (0 = perfectly spread, 10000 = one entity holds the whole market), plus the top-8-by-value share br…
Partner-concentration (HHI) compared across sub-products: one HHI line per sub-product rather than per flow, to see which sub-products drive a parent code's overall concentration.
Cross-sectional HHI per country for one year -- the choropleth counterpart of get_concentration. 'partner' entity_level = for every EU member state, HHI of its trade across partners; 'reporter' = for …
Intra-EU revealed symmetric comparative advantage (RSCA) per member state -- a Balassa index benchmarked against the EU instead of the world. Runs -1 (under-specialised) to +1 (strongly specialised), …
How concentrated production of a product is across all DS-059358 reporting countries (PRODCOM; EU member states plus EFTA/candidate/other reporters -- not only the EU-27). HHI of PRODVAL across countr…
Coefficient-of-variation (CV = stdev / mean) volatility per partner/reporter x product pair, over inactive-period-excluded history. Higher CV = the flow swings more relative to its typical level. Retu…
Before/after trade-pattern shift around a split point (`query.midpoint`): for each entity, compares average quantity and price before vs. after, and returns scatter points (quantity-change % vs. price…
Detect abnormal collapses in trade volumes ("sudden volume changes"). Flags periods where a partner/product pair's volume drops well below its historical average (>2 sigma by default). Returns ranked …
Detect sudden price regime shifts ("rapid price changes"), accounting for each flow's usual volatility so naturally volatile flows aren't over-flagged. Returns ranked shock events per flow with timeli…
Net Import Reliance (NIR) = (Imports - Exports) / Apparent consumption, annual, joining PRODCOM production with Comext trade. E.g. 40% means 40% of EU consumption is met by imports; negative means the…
Trade Intensity (TI) = (Imports + Exports) / (Imports + Production), annual. Near 1 = highly trade-exposed sector; near 0 = predominantly domestic. Used in the Commission's CEEAG methodology for carbo…
Export Propensity = Exports / Production, annual: the share of EU production that is exported. Not clamped -- values above 100% are legitimate (re-exports, stock drawdown, scope differences). Returns …
EU27 sub-contracting intensity: the share of sold production that is toll (sub-contracted) manufacturing rather than own-account output. Returns intensity (%) across value/quantity, its component seri…
Per-country sub-contracting intensity (PRODCOM): for each reporting country, the share of its sold production that is toll manufacturing -- which countries act as processing hubs vs. autonomous produc…
Resolve a free-text query or CN code(s) into validated product code(s) with descriptions -- the recommended first step before using a code as `product` in any other tool's `query`. Saves the search ->…
Report-section helper ("Scope & definitions"): the resolved product code + label, a one-sentence caveat when the code bundles several sub-products (`has_subcodes`), the data-coverage window actually c…
Report-section helper ("General overview"): condensed, report-ready digest of how a market has evolved over the chosen window -- one call instead of separately fetching and cross-referencing get_overv…
Report-section helper ("Market structure"): combines, in priority order, the intra-EU specialisation snapshot (`get_specialisation`, already map-ready), partner-concentration detail (`get_concentratio…
Report-section helper ("Volatility & shocks"): the entities analysed are picked by `get_volatility` (ranks by trade volume, reports each one's CV) and by `get_price_shocks`/`get_supply_shocks` at defa…
Report-section helper ("Autonomy & vulnerability"): net import reliance (`get_net_import_reliance`) is always the headline fact/chart. Trade intensity and export propensity (`get_trade_intensity` / `g…
Fetch every report section (scope, overview, market structure, volatility, autonomy) for one shared `query` in a single call, instead of calling `get_product_profile` / `get_market_summary` / `get_mar…
