50+ Attributes for Any UK Postcode — One API Call
Pass a UK postcode. Get back a complete area profile — deprivation score, crime rate, average sale price, nearby school count, public transport links, and broadband speed. All in one call, instead of five.
Free tier: 100 requests/month. No credit card required.
Five calls, reduced to one.
Building a property portal, mortgage app, or area comparison tool? You used to stitch together deprivation, crime, price trends, schools, transport, and broadband separately — six round-trips, six response schemas to parse.
The Postcode Profile endpoint bundles all of that into a single structured response. One call, consistent schema, cached at the postcode level.
