1. PX-API and development of new console Norwegian experiences Jan Bruusgaard Pc-Axis Reference Group Meeting 2015

2. Background 1995: www.ssb.no 2002: Statbank database (not px-files) 2013: New web (CMS) 2013: Beta API –200 readymade datasets JSON-stat and CSV 2016: New Statbank based on PX-Web and new API

3. PX-web in three steps We implement PX-Web in three steps: 1.PX-API (feb 2016) 2.PX-Web (summer 2016?) 3.Data model 2.4 (autumn 2016??)

4. Why API first? Get an API towards all 6000 tables –and not only 200 predefined datasets Possible to implement parts of PX-Web as an addition to existing Statbank application –Reduce risk –Get experiences –Establish routines for deployment

5. Overview We use PX-API –json query –http POST Developed separate console –to assist user to query the API –Necessary as we do not have PX-web Todays’ API with readymade datasets will still exist side by side with PX-API

7. Challenges PX-API not as separate as we thought Hard to configure API without PX-Web PX-API metadata is missing –Grouping –Aggregations Makes datasets larger than wanted Strange behavior –Filter: top
