This API is best for developers wanting to use real data to build applications for the public health sector.
Developers should use this API because it is an open source platform for public health data. It allows for real-time searches within datasets and allows for secure access to sensitive information. It is also free to use and easy to integrate in applications. Data can be automatically updated with little effort, allowing for quick deployment of changes. Applications can also be built to help target and tackle specific health issues within the country.

I'm so glad I decided to use Open Data NHS Scotland in my project. The data was accurately indexed and easy to retrieve, and the automated updates made my project so much more efficient. I will be sure to use this API again in the future!
