Statistics Netherlands StatLine open data (OData)

StatLine datasets across CBS themes (economy, prices, population, labour, energy, traffic and transport, security and justice and more), retrieved as OData JSON. CBS offers three service types: a Catalog service that "provides overviews of datasets", a standard API "intended for direct use" where "Retrieval of data is restricted to a maximum of 10,000 cells at one time", and a Feed "intended for indirect use, e.g. for downloading large quantities of data for further processing" where "A single call can return an unlimited number of cells."
