}About the edpb.europa.eu API
The EDPB Opinions API exposes structured data from the European Data Protection Board's consistency findings page through one endpoint, get_opinions, returning up to the full catalog of published opinions with 7 fields per record: title, URL, date, publication type, topics, member states, and a direct PDF download link. It handles pagination automatically so you can retrieve the complete opinions listing or a controlled slice of pages.
What the API Returns
The get_opinions endpoint retrieves the full list of EDPB opinions published on the consistency findings page. Each opinion object in the opinions array carries a title, a url to the opinion's detail page, an ISO-formatted date, a publication_type label (e.g. Opinion), a topics array covering GDPR subject matter, a member_states array listing the supervisory authorities involved, and a pdf_link for the official document download. The top-level total field reports how many opinion records were returned across all fetched pages.
Pagination and Filtering
get_opinions accepts two optional parameters. The page integer (0-indexed) sets the starting page of the EDPB listing. The limit integer controls how many consecutive pages are fetched; passing 0 instructs the endpoint to fetch all available pages. This lets you implement incremental updates by starting from page 0 with a small limit, or pull the complete archive in one call by omitting both parameters.
Data Scope
Coverage maps directly to what the EDPB publishes under its Opinions consistency-findings section. Topics and member states are returned as arrays, reflecting that a single opinion may span multiple GDPR subject areas and involve more than one EU supervisory authority. PDF links point directly to the official EDPB-hosted documents, making it straightforward to build document-retrieval pipelines on top of the API.
- Monitor newly published EDPB opinions and trigger alerts when a specific
member_statesentry (e.g. Germany, France) appears. - Build a searchable index of GDPR consistency opinions filtered by
topicssuch as data transfers or legitimate interest. - Aggregate
pdf_linkURLs to bulk-download official EDPB opinion documents for offline legal research. - Track opinion publication frequency over time using the
datefield to identify regulatory trend spikes. - Populate a compliance dashboard that surfaces the latest EDPB opinions relevant to a particular EU supervisory authority.
- Feed
titleandtopicsdata into an NLP pipeline to classify regulatory guidance by GDPR article scope. - Cross-reference
member_statesacross opinions to map how often each national DPA is cited in EDPB consistency findings.

Does the EDPB have an official developer API for its opinions or consistency findings?+
What does `get_opinions` return for each record, and can I filter by topic or member state?+
title, url, date, publication_type, topics (array), member_states (array), and pdf_link. The endpoint does not accept server-side filter parameters for topic or member state; filtering must be applied client-side after fetching the data.How fresh is the opinion data, and does the API reflect newly published opinions immediately?+
Does the API cover other EDPB document types such as Guidelines, Recommendations, or Binding Decisions?+
publication_type, topics, member_states, date, and pdf_link for those records. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add endpoints targeting other EDPB document sections like Guidelines or Recommendations.Is the full text of each opinion available through the API?+
pdf_link pointing to the official document and a url to the opinion detail page, but it does not extract or return the full text content of the opinion itself. The API covers metadata and document links. You can fork it on Parse and revise it to add a detail endpoint that retrieves body text from the individual opinion page.
