I need to know what is published for a place, at what level, and whether I can pull it by code.

Know what the API does and does not cover
API version 1 documents search, organisation, board, person, roles and connections, including the council type with its own register identifier. Place indicators are on the Local Intelligence pages, with the source, period, geography and licence beside each figure. They are not an API endpoint.

What is open and what needs an account. Local Intelligence pages are open to everyone. Place indicators are open data from ONS and other public sources under the Open Government Licence; the page for each figure names its licence.
Sources, matching and privacy
Official sources
Board and officer records from the Charity Commission, OSCR, the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, Companies House and the Department for Education, with other public registers named on each record. Every fact shows its register and date.
How we handle dataCareful matching
Records are joined into one person only where our identity-matching rules support it. Confirmed relationships are supported by the approved evidence and rules. Likely relationships are shown with the label “Likely the same person”. Connections are calculated here and labelled as calculated.
MethodologyPrivate by default
Nobody is told you looked them up. Viewing, searching and saving are private. Near Me lists organisations only, never where people live, and nothing a person types becomes an official fact.
PrivacyThe same job, in other hands
