Search a curated registry of 45 UK open datasets and APIs for property and neighbourhood research.
Each entry records the dataset's home page, its machine-readable endpoint, format, licence, geographic coverage, update cadence, and the concrete questions it can answer. Use it to find the right source for something this server does not report directly — EPC ratings, planning applications, flood risk, council tax bands, bus timetables, air quality, ground stability, land ownership.
Args:
- query (string, optional): free text over name, publisher, category, endpoint and questions
- category (string, optional): category prefix, e.g. "Crime", "Transport", "Environment"
- limit (number): 1-45, default 10
- offset (number): pagination offset, default 0
- response_format ('markdown' | 'json'): default 'markdown'
Returns:
{ total, count, offset, has_more, next_offset, datasets: [{ id, dataset, publisher, category, api, licence, coverage, update_frequency }] }
Examples:
- "Where do I get EPC data?" -> query="EPC"
- "What flood datasets are there?" -> query="flood"
- "List every transport source" -> category="Transport", limit=20
