Public-data dashboards on European Union institutions, refreshed every night

The European Union generates an extraordinary amount of public data: court rulings, vetoes, legal acts, financial indicators. Most of it lives behind unfriendly APIs and PDF archives. This site pulls those streams into plain-language dashboards that re-render every night.

EU Finance

Bond yields, inflation and the ECB’s key rate, plotted against the post-2008 sovereign-debt back-history.

EU Vetoes

Every Member State veto on a Council file since 2010, hand-curated from the public record.

EU Court

Caseload, procedure types, rapporteur productivity and country-of-origin maps for the CJEU.

EU Law

Regulations, directives, decisions and recommendations adopted by the EU since 1952, plus how long they took to pass.

EU Enlargement

Membership of the EU from the Founding Six in 1957 to today, traced wave by wave (and the one withdrawal).

How it works

Each tracker rebuilds itself overnight: a scheduled job re-pulls the underlying data and the page re-renders, so the charts reflect what the sources say that day. Most of the data comes from public APIs, complemented on occasion by additional external or hand-curated sources. When a source is unreachable the page falls back to the last good copy and shows the date the data was fetched, so you can see how current the numbers are.
