02 / WHAT IT DOES

Fetches it

Ask in Claude or ChatGPT. Hawalius fetches the data live from each publisher, adds each licence and credit line on the way back, and passes it into your chat.

Go wide or go narrow. A question can reach tables with millions of rows, filtered and counted at the source, so only what answers it comes back: up to 1,000 rows at a time in the chat, or up to 100,000 rows in a file to download where the licence allows.Most data stays with its publisher and is fetched when you ask. We keep a search index of the catalogues, short-term caches so we don’t overload publishers, copies of a few reference sets (places, postcode lookups, bus stops and building outlines), download files for 24 hours, and a record of requests for 90 days. PrivacyHawalius makes reasonable efforts to link each publisher’s licence and credit line with the data. They’re our summary: check the publisher’s own terms yourself.
