DATA API

The Department for International Trade Data API supplies datasets via HTTPS
without authentication.

 * Datasets are versioned
 * Each dataset version is immutable
 * Each dataset version has one or more tables
 * Each dataset version has zero or more reports - a report contains filtered or
   aggregated table data
 * Metadata for each dataset version is available as HTML or CSVW (CSV on the
   Web)
 * Data can be filtered or aggregated using the S3 Select query language
 * Data is supplied as SQLite, JSON, CSV, or ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet).

The source code for the Data API is available in its GitHub repository.


GETTING STARTED

Any tool that can make HTTPS requests can access the Data API. Examples are
curl, Postman, or the web browser you're currently using.

For example
https://staging.public-data-api.uktrade.digital/v1/datasets?format=json will
return a list of datasets.


BASE URL

All requests to this API should be prefixed with the following URL.

https://staging.public-data-api.uktrade.digital


VERSIONING

Datasets are versioned according to a subset of the Semver 2.0 specification.
Each version is of the form X.Y.Z, where X is the major version, Y is the minor
version, and Z is the patch version. Each release of a dataset increments the
version according to the following rules.

 * Patch: incremented when data is added or changed, but the structure of the
   data is the same.
 * Minor: incremented when new fields or tables are added to the data, but
   existing ones are unchanged.
 * Major: incremented when existing fields are removed or change type.


REPORTS

Datasets can contain reports. Reports are similar to tables, except that the
data in reports is generated from the tables in the dataset. Reports are
available to satisfy common use cases for filtered or aggregated views of the
data in a dataset.

If a dataset is available as SQLite, reports are generated using SQL in the
_reports table in the SQLite file.


COMMON PARAMETERS

Several URL parameters are applicable to multiple API endpoints.

Name Description dataset_id A human-readable identifier of a dataset, e.g.
uk-tariff-2021-01-01 version_id

A version identifier in the format vX.Y.Z, where X.Y.Z is the Semver 2.0 version
of the dataset, e.g. v2.1.0

or

A version in the format vX.Y. In this case, a HTTP 302 redirect is returned to
the URL requested, but with version_id equal to the latest version of the
dataset with major and minor components matching vX.Y

or

A version in the format vX. In this case, a HTTP 302 redirect is returned to the
URL requested, but with version_id equal to the latest version of the dataset
with major component matching vX

or

The literal latest. In this case, a HTTP 302 redirect is returned to the URL
requested, but with version_id equal to the latest version of the dataset

table_id A human-readable identifier of a table, e.g. commodities report_id A
human-readable identifier of a report, e.g. quotas-including-current-volumes
