List all available statistical themes (categories) in the BFS catalog. Each theme has a name, prodima number (for filtering), and theme code. Use the prodima number with search_datasets to filter by theme.

Get detailed information about a specific BFS dataset using its BFS number or asset number. Returns comprehensive metadata including title, description, available languages, publication date, and links to data files.

Retrieve statistical data from a BFS dataset using the PXWEB API. You can optionally filter by specific dimensions. Use get_dataset_metadata first to see available dimensions and values for filtering. Returns data in JSON-stat format by default.

Retrieve time-series data from the Swiss Stats Explorer (SSE) API. This is a modern SDMX-based API that works well for time-series data. Use get_sse_metadata first to see available dimensions. You can filter by dimensions and time periods.

Get complete metadata structure for a BFS dataset from the PXWEB API. Returns information about all available dimensions, their codes, and possible values. Use this before querying data to understand what filters you can apply.

Get metadata for a Swiss Stats Explorer (SSE) dataset. Returns available dimensions and their possible values. Use this before calling get_sse_data to understand what filters you can apply.

Get a simplified view of available dimensions and their values for a PXWEB dataset. This is useful for quickly understanding what filters you can apply when querying data. Returns dimension codes and all possible values.
