The API provides access to multiple datasets covering the global gambling industry. The catalog endpoint returns the full list of available datasets programmatically; this page offers a guided overview.
Dataset structure
Each dataset comprises the following properties:
- A name — the value passed as the
metricquery parameter (e.g.ggr_annual) - A granularity — either
annualormonthly, determining the time dimension - Dimensions — categorical fields available for filtering (e.g.
country,channel) - Metrics — numeric values included in each row (e.g.
ggr,turnover)
Annual datasets include a year dimension (integer). Monthly datasets include a
month_beginning dimension (date string, e.g. 2024-01-01).
