Unemployment Statistics (Töötukassa)

Outputs

• Unemployment/labor dataset and trend summaries.

Primary endpoints

Workflow

1. Locate target indicator publication/table.
2. Extract period and regional dimensions.
3. Normalize metric definitions and units.

Request contract

• Use the listed primary endpoints as authoritative entry points.
• If API/query parameters are only visible in-browser, preserve exact request URL, params, and headers in output metadata.

Output schema expectations

• Keep at least: source URL, retrieval timestamp, publication/update date (if available), title/record label, and extracted governance-relevant fields.
• Preserve original field names when present in downloadable/API output.

Limits and caveats

• Confirm whether data is open-download, UI-only, or authenticated before claiming full access.
• Separate narrative/guidance text from measurable records.

Verification hooks
