Unemployment Fund Statistics

Access

• Dataset chooser: https://andmed.eesti.ee/information-holders/eesti-tootukassa
• Dataset metadata API: https://andmed.eesti.ee/api/datasets/slug/{slug}
• Send a browser-like User-Agent and Origin: https://andmed.eesti.ee if the API edge rejects a bare client.

Retrieve

1. Use the chooser's 17 dataset links to select the subject and copy its slug. Subjects include registered unemployment, daily registered unemployment, vacancies, services, benefits, work-ability assessment, layoffs, work experience, and skills.
2. GET api/datasets/slug/{slug}. For registered unemployment, use registreeritud-tootud.
3. Read distributions; select by titleEt, format, and coverage rather than array position.
4. Download the chosen URL in accessUrls. These API URLs redirect to short-lived signed object-storage URLs, so do not persist the redirect target.

Return

Preserve dataset slug/title/description, organization, temporal coverage, update time, distribution title, format, byte size, license, stable accessUrls URL, retrieval time, and original workbook headers.

Limits

• The obsolete https://www.tootukassa.ee/et/statistika-ja-uuringud route renders an error and must not be used.
• A dataset can contain multiple XLSX distributions for different demographic or geographic cuts.
• Distinguish month-end stocks, during-month flows, and daily snapshots from titles and headers.

Verify

Require organization.slug: "eesti-tootukassa", public completed metadata, at least one distribution, and a valid XLSX ZIP signature from its stable accessUrls endpoint.
