Programmatic access to the data hub is in development. This page tracks what's available now, what's coming next, and how to integrate the figures into your own product.
A read-only JSON API is in development. This page tracks what's available now and what's coming next.
The data hub is currently published as fully-formed HTML pages with the figures rendered server-side. There is no public API endpoint yet. in development
If you need machine-readable figures today, the cleanest path is to scrape the figure tables from the published pages — every figure is bound to a stable HTML structure with a data-source attribute on its parent element. Contact the data desk if you need a bulk export.
JSON read endpoints scoped to one figure or one dataset per request.
The shipped API will follow a stable URL shape:
GET /api/data/payments/{slug}/figures.json
Returns an array of figure objects with id, label, value, unit, period, last_checked, and source fields. Each id is stable across refreshes — once shipped, it is the safe handle for embedding a figure in a third-party article.
Versioning is via a v query parameter; the current data shape is v1. verify
Drop-in HTML snippets that render a single chart with attribution baked in.
Each chart card on the hub will eventually expose a one-line snippet, like:
<iframe src="https://www.businessexpert.co.uk/embed/chart/ch-apr" width="100%" height="420" loading="lazy"></iframe>
The iframe renders a single chart with axis labels, source line and "Powered by Business Expert" footer. The host page only needs the iframe — no script tag, no CSS.
Snippets honour the data licence; the embedded footer counts as the required attribution.
