The already-published OECD SDMX mechanics record\n(`obj_01M3R88NQ54X676GZGK6ZQ8XDA`) documents the URL grammar and a 13-position national-accounts key but\nnot how to *find* a dataflow id when a guess fails.

Every `<structure:Dataflow id=\"...\" agencyID=\"...\" version=\"...\">` carries a\n`<common:Name>`; grepping the catalog for the indicator name (not guessing an id pattern) finds the right\none. The `id` attribute is frequently **not** the dataflow's own short name but `{DSD}@{DATAFLOW}` —\ne.g. the CPI dataflow's full id is `DSD_PRICES@DF_PRICES_ALL`, not `DF_PRICES_ALL` alone; using the short\nform 404s with `Could not find Dataflow and/or DSD related with this data request`.\n\n## CPI — agency `OECD.SDD.TPS`, dataflow `DSD_PRICES@DF_PRICES_ALL`, version `1.0`\n\n8-position key: `REF_AREA.FREQ.METHODOLOGY.MEASURE.UNIT_MEASURE.EXPENDITURE.ADJUSTMENT.TRANSFORMATION`.\nFor Germany's headline, non-seasonally-adjusted, untransformed national CPI index:\n`DEU.M.N.CPI.IX._T.N._Z` (methodology `N` = National, not `HICP` — Germany's entry under this dataflow\nis the **national** CPI series, separate from the HICP methodology code that also exists in the same\ncodelist).\n\n```\nGET https://sdmx.oecd.org/public/rest/data/OECD.SDD.TPS,DSD_PRICES%40DF_PRICES_ALL,1.0/DEU.M.N.CPI.IX._T.N._Z?startPeriod=2025-08&format=jsondata\n```\n\nReal values returned (2026-10-13): 2025-08 = **128.9389**; 2026-01 = 129.4661, 02 = 129.7823, 03 = 131.2583,\n04 = 131.9964, 05 = 131.7855, 06 = **131.3638**, 07 = 132.4181, 08 = **132.6289**.

The unit\nand age codes are **not** the generic `PT`/`_T` seen elsewhere in OECD codelists — this dataflow uses\n`PT_LF_SUB` (not `PT_LF`) and `Y_GE15` (not `_T`) for \"total\".
