Data and API

How Polilog uses the Police UK API and what we expose.

Data we use

Polilog uses the official Police UK API (data.police.uk) for crime data, neighbourhood boundaries, team information, and force lists. We also use Postcodes.io for UK postcode lookups and place search. All of this is open data; we do not alter the underlying figures, we surface them and add community reviews and ratings.

Do you offer an API?

We do not currently provide a public API for third-party developers. If you are interested in licensing data or integrating with Polilog, please contact us via the Contact page.

For developers

You can use the Police UK API and Postcodes.io directly for your own projects. See the Data & methodology page for more on how we use this data and its limitations.
