Query parameters

bboxstringrequired

A pair of comma-separated coordinates with an accuracy of two decimal places or less, that specify the lower left and upper right coordinates of the bounding box. The maximum size of the bounding box is 1 km2. If the bounding box exceeds this, an error message is returned. The precision of the coordinates is to an accuracy of 8 metres.

formatstring · enum · default: "JSON"optional

The format the response will be returned in. Default: JSON.

Options: JSON, XML

maxresultsinteger · min: 1 · max: 100 · default: "100"optional

The maximum number of results to return. Default: 100.

offsetinteger · default: "0"optional

Offset the list of returned results by this amount.

datasetstring · enum · default: "DPA"optional

The dataset to return. Multiple values can be sent, separated by a comma. Default: DPA.

Options: DPA, LPI

lrstring · enumoptional

Which language of addresses to return. Default: EN, CY.

Options: EN, CY

output_srsstring · enum · default: "EPSG:27700"optional

The intended output spatial reference system. Default: EPSG:27700

Options: BNG, EPSG:27700, WGS84, EPSG:4326, EPSG:3857, EPSG:4258

srsstring · enumoptional

The spatial reference system for the input coordinate set.

Options: BNG, EPSG:27700, WGS84, EPSG:4326, EPSG:3857, EPSG:4258

fqstring[]optional

Filter for classification code, logical status code, LPI logical status code and/or country code. Filtering for classification code will accept wildcard ( * ) searches. Multiple searches can be done by separating the codes with a space. Multiple filters can be used together by including the parameter multiple times

Example: ["CLASSIFICATION_CODE:CI CLASSIFICATION_CODE:RD","LOGICAL_STATUS_CODE:6","LPI_LOGICAL_STATUS_CODE:3","COUNTRY_CODE:EN"]
