About this list
GovAPI Atlas is an index of the APIs and web services that national government open-data portals publish. This edition's list was read from data.gov.uk on 2026-10-11 and is refreshed every week. GovAPI Atlas does not host the APIs; you apply for and call them on the portal itself.
What is included
Datasets on data.gov.uk where at least one resource is an API or web service: ArcGIS REST, OGC WMS, WFS, WCS, WMTS, SPARQL, REST or API. Read from the data.gov.uk CKAN API (ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk), because data.gov.uk/api returned an error page on 11 October 2026. File-only datasets are left out.
Source
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Source: data.gov.uk.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key to use the data.gov.uk API?
No. On data.gov.uk you do not need an API key to use the API, and the official documentation states there are no rate limits. Source
Where is the data.gov.uk API documentation and what is the base URL?
The API documentation is on guidance.data.gov.uk under Get data. The API is based on CKAN, and the base URL for all calls is https://data.gov.uk/api/action/. Source
Which data can I get through the data.gov.uk API?
The API covers the directory, which lists datasets and publishers. The curated collections of the National Data Library are not yet available through the API. Source
Under what licence can I reuse content from data.gov.uk?
Content on data.gov.uk, which is presented as the National Data Library, can be republished as long as you meet the conditions of the Open Government Licence or of another licence that covers it. Source
Who should I contact with questions about a specific dataset?
For questions about a dataset in the data.gov.uk directory, contact the publisher directly if they have provided contact details next to the dataset. Source
