UK Parliament API
Unlock Publicly Available Parliamentary Data
Website
This API is best for accessing and using UK Parliament data, analysing the workings of Parliament, and understanding voting patterns.
Developers should use this API for accessing and using publicly available UK Parliament data, to develop statistical models and visuals, and to create applications and services with parliamentary information. Additionally, this API can be used to visualise membership data from Parliament as well as to analyse speeches, divisions, and voting patterns. Moreover, 1Set, a powerful machine learning tool, can be used in conjunction with the API to cross-reference topics, names, and statements automatically.
Key features
- Access to data such as attendance numbers
- speeches
- divisions
- and members' information. API calls to get data
- customise excerpt content
- and metadata. Comprehensive stats on members of Parliament throughout history.
Potential use cases
- Members Profile Displays: A service that uses the UK Parliament API to compile detailed information on members of parliament and display it in an interactive way to the public.
- Voting Analytics: A web application that pulls voting data from the UK Parliament API and allows users to analyze and compare voting patterns from parliament members.
- Speeches Visualisation: An interactive application that visualises speech data from the UK Parliament API, displaying changes in language over time and the effect of different policies on the tone of debate.
The UK Parliament API has opened up a wealth of data for us to develop excellent visualisations and analytics that help to bolster our understanding of the political events of the day. Without the API, it would take us much longer to access and organise the relevant parliamentary information, and our applications and services would suffer greatly.
