This is my own product.<\/p>\n<p>Hey. Been working on this for over a year and just went live.<\/p>\n<p>What it is: StaticCreation is an API marketplace for UK public sector data. Instead of scraping Companies House, DVSA, Land Registry, EPC, and a dozen other sources separately, you get one API key that works across everything.<\/p>\n<p>The problem I kept hitting: Every time I built something that needed UK data, I&#8217;d spend weeks writing scrapers, handling rate limits, parsing inconsistent formats, and maintaining pipelines that break every time a government site changes. I figured other devs were doing the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s in there:<\/p>\n<p>1.2 billion records across 16 datasets<\/p>\n<p>Property: EPC certificates, Land Registry transactions, planning applications<\/p>\n<p>Vehicles: DVLA data, full MOT history (832m test records), MIB insurance checks<\/p>\n<p>Business: Companies House profiles, officers, charges, filings<\/p>\n<p>Plus energy data, school\/Ofsted ratings, crime stats, food data, fuel prices, trademarks, and more<\/p>\n<p>How it works:<\/p>\n<p>Buy tokens once (starts at \u00a31.50 for 100), spend them per call. No subscriptions, no separate plans per dataset. One balance works across every endpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Combined endpoints are what I&#8217;m most proud of, instead of calling 5 APIs yourself and joining the data, one call to Property Intelligence returns EPC + crime + schools + energy + price history for any UK address. Same idea for vehicles, companies, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Stack: FastAPI backend, PostgreSQL, self-hosted on dedicated hardware in the UK. Everything runs through my own ETL pipelines, no reselling third-party APIs.<\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;d love feedback on:<\/p>\n<p>Is the pricing clear enough?<\/p>\n<p>Are there UK datasets you&#8217;d want that I&#8217;m missing?<\/p>\n<p>Would you actually use something like this?<\/p>\n<p>Site: <a href=\"https:\/\/staticcreation.co.uk\/\">https:\/\/staticcreation.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Happy to answer any questions about the build, the data partnerships, or the tech. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Puzzleheaded_Bad_562\"> \/u\/Puzzleheaded_Bad_562 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1v946xh\/paid_i_built_a_uk_data_api_platform_with_37\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1v946xh\/paid_i_built_a_uk_data_api_platform_with_37\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-41910 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='41910' data-nonce='ddd07821da' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-41910 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-41910 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disclosure: I&#8217;m the developer and founder of StaticCreation.
