EU STR compliance
Regulation 2024/1028, SDEP APIs, and reporting status
STR Tracker monitors the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 across all 27 EU Member States. It tracks national short-term rental registration systems, SDEPSingle Digital Entry PointA national gateway/API for electronic data transmission between short-term rental platforms and competent authorities.

Use it to compare which countries have published portals, API documentation, legal reporting models, or early policy signals.
The basics
What the law changes
Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 creates a harmonised framework for collecting and sharing data about short-term accommodation rentals, holiday rentals, and vacation rental listings offered through online platforms. The practical work is national: each Member State with registration procedures needs a way for platforms to transmit data to competent authorities.
What platforms may need to do
Platforms may need to collect registration numbers, display them in listings, run checks, remove invalid listings when ordered, and report activity data through national systems.
What hosts and operators may need to do
Hosts may need to register units, maintain accurate property data, use valid registration numbers, and comply with local housing, tourism, tax, or planning rules that remain outside the EU data-sharing layer.
Why technical interoperability matters
The EU framework is common, but national APIs, identifiers, authentication, validation rules, and reporting payloads can differ. Software vendors need to track both the legal status and the implementation details.
Tracker project
Member State implementation status in one place
The tracker collects public implementation updates for the EU short-term rental regulation and shows which countries have public portals, legal workflows, SDEP operators, API documentation, registration-number systems, or pending publication.

FAQ
EU short-term rental reporting questions
When does Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 apply?
Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 applies from 20 May 2026. Member States are not obliged to introduce registration or data-request systems, but where they do, national workflows and technical interfaces can still differ.
What is Regulation (EU) 2024/1028?
Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 creates a harmonised EU framework for collecting and sharing short-term rental data between online platforms and public authorities.
What is an SDEP?
An SDEP, or Single Digital Entry Point, is a national gateway or API used for electronic short-term rental data transmission between platforms and competent authorities.
Do all EU countries require STR registration numbers?
No. The EU framework applies where Member States introduce short-term rental registration systems or request platform data. National identifiers, workflows, API availability, authentication models, and reporting payloads can differ.
Which countries have public SDEP API documentation?
The Netherlands currently provides the clearest public SDEP API documentation and reference implementation. Other Member States may have legal or portal signals without public API documentation.
What do platforms need to report?
Platforms may need to transmit listing identifiers, registration numbers, addresses or regulated-area references, booking periods, guest counts, listing URLs, and platform identity data, depending on national implementation.
