# Statistics Sweden (SCB) API
> A gateway to the official Statistics Sweden (SCB) PxWeb data service. Read the latest headline Consumer Price Index and fetch the latest time-series observations for any of the thousands of SCB statistics tables by table path and dimension selections — consumer prices, population, the labour market, national accounts, housing and much more. Every observation carries its reference period, and values always resolve to the latest published release, so there are no dates to hard-code. Built for Swedish macro research, CPI and inflation tracking, and SEK currency or rates models that need authoritative national statistics. Distinct from our OECD, Statistics Canada, ABS and Statistics Norway feeds, and from central-bank FX feeds: this surfaces the official SCB data service for Sweden.
