Data and APIs available for the Accountability Hack 2015
National Audit Office, Office of National Statistics and Parliament are holding a joint hack event to look at how they use each others information; what their users want to do with their data and information; and how to improve what they do online.
So here is a helpful list of APIs and data-sources for the event using data.parliament.
http://data.parliament.uk – main site
- http://api.data.parliament.uk/help – Atom feed help
- http://explore.data.parliament.uk – Search and API site
