Why?
I’ve worked with UK Home Office reference data for over 10 years.
It tends to siloed, inconsistant and hard to find then understand.
This is a fun exercise in exposing already public data in an open, constitent and accessible manner.
Most reference data produced by the UK Home Office is locked inside spreadsheets, pdfs or HTML pages. This API is opening up that data so that consuming services don’t have to deal with that raw data over and over again.
I used to do this work as part of my day job (now its a hobby?) - so I thought it would be worth sharing for others to take advantage.
