Method IDs

While having Entities / Entity-Ids we have a special case in terms of Studies (entity_id = 4). If a document has that entity_id, another specializing takes place and the study custom id (field study.method.id) is considered. Based on that ID, the real Entity is chosen:

Compliance IDs

Statista sometimes acquires data for its content from other sources. Hence, we need to follow certain compliance guidelines for such content. Not all content is e.g. allowed to be distributed via an API. We have a system of compliance IDs, that indicate the legal situation of the content source. Some of them need approval (via the compliance tool), and some don't.

Compliance id Name Is approval needed (for publishing)? Example Statistic
1 OnlineStorePurchase needs approval Food economy exports from Germany to Africa
2 IndividualPurchase needs approval Total equity of the banking system in Saudi Arabia
3 OfflineStorePurchase free / no approval China stomatological hospital numbers by type
4 GovernmentUniversityPurchase approval needed Daily internet users by age group and device in Italy
5 Registration (e.g. form, email, newsletter) approval needed Europe battery energy storage capacity by sector
6 Cooperation free / no approval Annual passenger volume Hamburg airport
7 FreelyAccessible free / no approval Private equity deal activity Chile
8 StatistaSurvey free / no approval Global pickup truck revenue by brand
9 PublicationRevoked This content cannot be published! free, but blocked --
10 Data Coop Freely Available free / no approval Devices used to watch Summer Olympic Games by age in France
11 Data Coop Exclusive free / no approval Travelers who splurged on experiences by generation
12 License free / no approval New Zealand DIY retailers market share
13 Data Coop Registration free / no approval India GenAI startups share by funding stage

Workstatus IDs

Items created at Statista can be in different work statuses, depending on whether they are WIP, published, etc. We use a system of workstatus ids, to mark in which state an item currently is. Only published items so workstatus in [1, 9] should be visible in the search and other consumers.

Content workstatus id (on EN) Content workstatus name (on EN) Content workstatus id (on DE) Content workstatus name (on DE)
8 work in progress 14 In Arbeit
9 published (live) 1 Veröffentlicht
10 not published 2 Unveröffentlicht
11 to be checked 3 zur Kontrolle

Region IDs

A majority of content types at Statista used a region ID system that contains 282 regions and was created by Statista. This region schema works with parents, meaning that regions can have a hierarchical connection. Technically this region schema follows 4 Parent-Layers:

  • Top Layer: Continents / Worldwide
  • 2nd Layer: Economic Areas / Overarching Countries (e.g. DACH, or the United Kingdom)
  • 3rd Layer: Countries
  • 4th Layer: States (only for Germany and the USA)

However, you'll notice, that some regions that would have a possible parent (like e.g. DACH → Europe) are not assigned as such.

Note: The lists are collapsed since they are quite long.

There is a new region schema used in universal-search. Check it out here.
