What does the API add to the National Bank's own data?

Reading every deposit, dating it, mapping the NBB rubrics to one schema shared with eleven other registers, checking the balance sheet and adding new deposits every week.

Why is revenue missing for many Belgian companies?

Abbreviated and micro accounts may show gross profit instead of turnover, so turnover is present on about 8% of company-periods. A missing figure stays missing: gross profit is never put in its place.

Are these group figures?

No. The Belgian data are statutory (solo) accounts, so a holding company shows its own revenue and assets, not the group's.

Financial statements of 677,992 Belgian companies, from the National Bank of Belgium

Assets, equity, liabilities, revenue, gross profit, operating and net income from the annual accounts Belgian companies deposit with the Central Balance Sheet Office of the National Bank of Belgium, from April 2022. Each figure keeps the company's enterprise number and its deposit date, so a query for a past date returns only the accounts deposited by then.
