|---|---|
| get_sdmx_structure | Dimension codelists + key syntax for a table. Call before get_sdmx_data. |

| get_sdmx_key_for_dimension | All leaf member IDs for a large dimension as a ready-to-paste OR key. Use when a dimension has >30 codes (e.g. NOC, CMAs). |
| fetch_vectors_to_database | Fetch vectors by reference period range and store to SQLite. |
| store_cube_metadata | Fetch full cube metadata into SQLite — browse all members and vectorIds with SQL. |
