Hawalius
Get started

Data register

Every open data source Hawalius uses, grouped by topic, with the licence it is under and whether you can use it commercially and export it. The list is built from the same licence information the server attaches to every result. Open a catalogue to see what it holds, counted by licence.

This is our summary, not legal advice. The publisher's own licence and terms are what apply, and they can change. Follow the link for each source and check it yourself: you remain responsible for checking the underlying licence before you use, share or publish the data. Sources whose terms forbid passing data on can't be exported.

Sources that need your own key

Most sources need nothing from you. A few publishers give out free keys and ask each person to sign up for their own, so the Key column says Your own free key. Here's how it works:

  1. Sign up on the publisher's site (the link in the Key column). It's free and usually takes a minute.
  2. Paste the key into the box for that source on your account page.
  3. Hawalius uses it only for your own requests. Nobody else's requests use it, and you can remove it at any time.

Until you add the key, that source is skipped and your AI app is told which key would unlock it. Where we hold a key that covers everyone, the column says Not needed, and you can still add your own for a limit of your own.

  • The Environment Agency says National Coastal Erosion Risk Mapping is for guidance only and cannot provide details for individual properties. It shows land likely to be at risk of erosion, not the precise future position of the shoreline, and erosion may happen faster or slower than shown. Complex cliffs are generally not included. Source
  • Natural England says the provisional Agricultural Land Classification maps (1:250,000) are not accurate enough to assess individual fields or development sites and should only be used as general guidance at a strategic level. They don't split grade 3 into 3a and 3b, so they can't say whether a site is best and most versatile land: that needs a detailed ALC survey. Source
  • Natural England's Priority Habitat Inventory is its best current knowledge, revised as new evidence comes in. It is not a survey of any particular site: an ecological survey is needed to confirm what habitat is there. Source
  • The annual returns count spills with the Environment Agency's 12/24-hour method, so one count can cover many hours. They measure how long an overflow discharged, not how much or how harmful. Where edm_operation_percent is below 90 the monitor missed part of the year, so the true figures may be higher. The Rivers Trust mapped and tidied the returns, and flags rows it thinks are wrong. Source
  • Natural England's SSSI unit condition is the finding of its last assessment, and cond_date shows when that was: many units have not been assessed for years, so the condition today may be different. Source
  • Natural England says the SSSI Impact Risk Zones only show its assessment of likely risk to the features of terrestrial SSSIs (and the SACs, SPAs and Ramsar sites they underpin). They don't cover coastal and marine sites that aren't underpinned by an SSSI, they don't change any other duty to consult Natural England, and where they say a risk is unlikely that doesn't mean there are no impacts on biodiversity or the wider environment. Source
  • Natural England's habitat network map is a national model built from mapped habitat, for strategic planning: it shows where habitat could be restored or created to join up networks, not what is on a particular site, and an ecological survey is needed for that. Source
  • The Environment Agency says its water resource availability map is a national picture that may not reflect local pressures, is estimated or modelled rather than measured, and may differ from the boundaries in its abstraction licensing strategies.

Publisher caveats
  • FEMA says the National Flood Hazard Layer is not an official flood zone determination: the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (or a FIRMette from the FEMA Map Service Center) and any Letters of Map Change are the record, and some areas have newer preliminary maps that aren't shown. Land outside a Special Flood Hazard Area can still flood, and the map doesn't show flooding from heavy rain away from rivers and the coast. Source
  • The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the National Wetlands Inventory is mapped from aerial imagery, not surveyed on the ground, so boundaries are approximate and some wetlands are missed. It does not show which wetlands are regulated under the Clean Water Act or state law: that needs a delineation and a jurisdictional determination from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Source
  • The National Park Service's map of the National Register covers listings that aren't restricted: the locations of sensitive sites (often archaeological) are withheld, and locations can be approximate. Check the National Register database and the State Historic Preservation Office; local historic districts and landmarks are separate from the National Register. Source
  • USGS says PAD-US is compiled from many agencies and organisations and is not the legal record of land ownership or boundaries; some easements and private protected land are left out at their owners' request. Source

PlanIt is a volunteer service with no service levels, so don't build a commercial product that depends on it.
Publisher caveats
  • UK PlanIt collects applications from council websites. Its FAQ says it is run by one person on a best-efforts basis with no guaranteed service, that some locations are inaccurate or absent, and that it would not be wise to base commercial services on it. It is not the official register: check the council's own planning register before relying on an application's details or status. Source

Publisher caveats
  • MHCLG says the number of households on housing registers is not the number waiting for social housing: councils review their registers at different intervals, set their own qualification rules (since the Localism Act 2011) and some households are on more than one council's register, so the totals likely overstate need. Existing council tenants seeking a transfer are left out. Figures before 2004 were checked less rigorously. Source
  • The Scottish Government counts applications, not households or people, and an applicant can be on more than one list, so the totals include an unknown amount of double counting. Councils that transferred all their homes to housing associations stop reporting after the transfer, so Scotland's total is not complete. Source
  • The Housing Executive's waiting list changes daily: the bulletin's figures are a snapshot taken on the date shown. Housing stress means 30 or more points under the Common Selection Scheme; full duty applicants are households accepted as homeless. Source
  • MHCLG publishes these as management information, as councils return them. A register entry shows interest in a self-build plot, not firm demand; councils may apply local connection and financial tests (so Part 1 and Part 2 entries count differently), and some returns are missing or late. Source

Conditions

  • Attribution required: credit Home Office and link to the licence in anything you publish.
Publisher caveats
  • The Home Office says police forces have greatly improved how they record crime and spot hate crime since 2014, so police figures don't give reliable trends in hate crime since then, and they aren't a good measure of how common it is because not all hate crime is reported; they do measure the demand hate crime puts on the police. An offence can be flagged with more than one strand, so the strands add up to more than the total. Metropolitan Police figures from 2024/25 aren't comparable with earlier years (a new recording system), Greater Manchester has none for 2019/20, and forces sometimes revise or can't confirm a year (the notes say which). Source
  • The Crime Survey for England and Wales estimates are pooled over three survey years and based on small numbers of victims, so they come with wide ranges ([*] or * means too few for a reliable estimate). The survey covers people in households only (not businesses, visitors or people in institutions) and excludes public order offences, over half of police recorded hate crime, so it can't be compared directly with police figures.

Publisher caveats
  • The water companies say their near-real-time storm overflow data is unverified: it shows when a monitor detects a possible discharge, published within about an hour, not checked discharges. It can be corrected later and can differ from the verified annual returns to the Environment Agency, which count spills with the 12/24-hour method. A monitor marked offline means the status is unknown. Source
  • The annual returns count spills with the Environment Agency's 12/24-hour method, so one count can cover many hours. They measure how long an overflow discharged, not how much or how harmful. Where edm_operation_percent is below 90 the monitor missed part of the year, so the true figures may be higher. The Rivers Trust mapped and tidied the returns, and flags rows it thinks are wrong.

Conditions

  • Attribution required: credit Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and link to the licence in anything you publish.
Publisher caveats
  • Defra says the all-species distribution indicator is official statistics in development, so it hasn't been assessed. It measures how widespread species are (the share of 1 km squares where they're recorded), not how many there are, so a group can spread while its numbers fall. It's modelled from volunteer records, many groups aren't covered at all, and Defra's own risk-of-bias checks found risks of bias in the insect data. The bees, wasps and ants series starts in 1980 and the moths series ends in 2016. Source
  • Defra says the butterfly indices come from sites counted by UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme volunteers, which aren't spread evenly across regions and habitats; UKCEH is working on those biases. Year-to-year changes are mostly weather: judge change from the smoothed index and its confidence interval over several years. Source

For commercial work use gbif:recent-sightings, which carries only the CC0 and CC BY research-grade observations.
Publisher caveats
  • iNaturalist blurs the location of threatened species, and of any sighting whose observer asks, to a random point in a square about 0.2 degrees across, roughly 15 to 22 km (obscured is true), so those points are not where the animal was. Sightings are by members of the public; research grade means at least two people agreed on the identification. No sightings is not evidence a species is absent. Source

Publisher caveats
  • eBird hides sightings of sensitive species, so a missing bird is not evidence it is absent.

  • The Department for Transport says these are personal injury collisions on public roads that were reported to the police; many non-fatal collisions are never reported, so the figures undercount, and damage-only collisions aren't included. Forces moved to injury-based severity reporting at different times, so compare serious and slight across forces and years with the adjusted severity figures, not the raw severity. Source
  • The Home Office labels these official statistics in development. They come from PentiP, which some forces (Durham, North Wales, South Wales, Gwent, North Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire) don't use for every outcome, so their figures may be incomplete; Metropolitan Police figures are partly from its own system. The latest year is refreshed at the next release as cases reach an outcome, and figures from 2011 aren't comparable with earlier years. Source
  • The Home Office labels these official statistics in development. Many forces changed how they record breath tests (new devices and systems) between 2023 and 2024, so it left some forces out of the current table and stopped the older series after 2023: don't compare the two series or read the gap as a real change. Tests are counted against the force that owns the device, not always the force that carried out the test. Source
  • These are councils' own revenue outturn returns to MHCLG. Some councils' returns were missing or late, so their rows are blank or estimated, and councils record parking costs differently (for example whether enforcement overheads are charged to parking), so compare surpluses with care. By law (Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, s.55) on-street parking surpluses can only be spent on transport and highways purposes. Source

Road traffic and congestion: hourly counts, traffic by council, average speeds and delays

Publisher caveats
  • The Department for Transport's raw counts are manual counts by enumerators from 7am to 7pm on a single weekday at each count point, between March and November and outside public and school holidays, so each one is a snapshot of that day, not a typical day. Major road points are counted every 1 to 8 years (up to 12 in Scotland and Wales) and minor roads only as a sample. Source
  • The Department for Transport counts each major road point every 1 to 8 years (up to 12 in Scotland and Wales) and only a sample of minor roads, and estimates the rest from earlier counts and traffic trends: estimation_method says whether a year's figure was counted or estimated, so treat estimated years with care. Source
  • The Department for Transport's vehicle miles by council and region are estimates: major roads from counts and modelling, minor roads from a sample of count points scaled up, so year-on-year changes for one council, especially in minor road traffic, can be noise. Source
  • The Department for Transport's speeds and delays come from GPS travel time data for a sample of cars and light vans (no lorries), weighted by traffic flow, and are averages over all 24 hours and all days unless a peak period is named. A change in the underlying sample introduced a break in the series in 2025, so compare 2025 onwards with earlier years with care; 2020 to 2022 are affected by COVID-19. Delay on local 'A' roads is measured against free-flow speed and on the Strategic Road Network against a National Highways profile, so the two aren't directly comparable. Source
  • National Highways' counts come from roadside loops that sometimes fail, so days can be missing or part-counted (intervals below 96). Vehicles are split by measured length, not type, and the data usually reach WebTRIS about a month after the event. Source

Publisher caveats
  • DfT's connectivity metric is experimental statistics. DfT says the scores should be read relative to other areas, that different transport modes shouldn't be compared directly with each other, and that connectivity varies by time of day. The journey times behind it are theoretical, from timetables and road networks, and don't allow for disruption or services not running to timetable. Source
  • DfT's Journey Time Statistics are modelled, not measured: theoretical journey times on a typical weekday in October 2019 (public transport timetables, average road speeds for 7 to 10am, assumed cycling speeds), averaged over each LSOA. DfT has stopped producing them, so 2019 is the last year and services may have opened, closed or moved since. Source

Publisher caveats
  • Our summary of the Department for Transport's notes: makes and models come from DVLA's make and model codes as keepers and dealers recorded them, so some vehicles sit under a generic name or MODEL MISSING (about three million in 2026), and the same car can appear under more than one spelling. Licensed means taxed at the end of the period; SORN means declared off the road. Check DfT's own notes and definitions before relying on a count. Source
  • Our summary: DVSA's anonymised MOT file holds every test as the tester recorded it. Cars under three years old (four in Northern Ireland, which isn't included) have no MOT, so a model's first years are missing, and older cars that are tested are the ones still being driven. Pass rates for rare models rest on few tests. Make and model are typed by testers and spelt in different ways. Check DVSA's user guide before relying on a rate. Source

Ticketmaster Developer General Terms of Use, on your own Ticketmaster API key
Credit and conditions

Credit line

  • Event listings from Ticketmaster (https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk), via the Ticketmaster Discovery API.

Conditions

  • Restricted by the provider's terms: use it only as they allow (see below).
  • Ticketmaster licenses its API to the developer whose key it is, non-exclusively and without the right to sublicense. The listings (event names, dates, venues, prices) belong to the organisers and/or Ticketmaster. Event content may be kept only as long as reasonably needed to show it, must be removed within 24 hours if the owner asks, and an app must not copy or replace Ticketmaster's own site. So Hawalius runs on your own key, stores nothing, makes no export file and sends you to Ticketmaster to buy tickets.
  • Link to Ticketmaster (tickets_url) for tickets; don't copy, store or republish the listings.
Publisher caveats
  • Event listings change: dates, times, line-ups and prices can change and events can sell out, move or be cancelled after they are listed. Check with the venue or ticket seller before you go or buy. Source

  • Attribution required: credit Skiddle Ltd.
  • Skiddle's API page says the API is for non-commercial use only, and commercial use needs written approval from Skiddle.

Conditions

  • No derivatives: you may share the data as-is but not publish modified versions.
  • Our summary: Frankfurter's code is MIT-licensed, but it says it owns none of the rates and grants no rights beyond each provider's own terms. These rates are the European Central Bank's euro reference rates, which the ECB lets anyone reuse, commercially too, if the ECB is named as the source and the figures are not altered. Rates against a base other than the euro are calculated by Frankfurter from the ECB's euro rates, so they are not ECB figures and shouldn't be passed off as ECB statistics. The ECB publishes the rates for information, not for settling transactions. Check the ECB's and Frankfurter's own terms yourself.
  • Name the European Central Bank as the source of the euro reference rates.
  • Don't present rates calculated against another base as ECB figures.
Publisher caveats
  • The ECB publishes these euro reference rates for information only and says they should not be used for transactions; actual dealing rates differ.

Conditions

  • Attribution required: credit International Monetary Fund (PortWatch, with the University of Oxford) and link to the licence in anything you publish.
  • The IMF's special terms for its statistics (effective 11 October 2024) let you download, copy, create derivative works, publish, distribute and use them, with the credit "Source: International Monetary Fund, <database>, <link>". Don't alter the figures in a way that changes their meaning, say so if you materially transform them, pass these terms on to anyone you share the data with, and if you sell the data on its own tell buyers it is free from the IMF. The same terms also say: "For any potential commercial reuse of IMF Data, please email [email protected] to request permission." We read that as about repackaging the data commercially, but it is not clear, so check with the IMF before relying on it commercially. Some series include third-party data under their own terms.
Publisher caveats
  • IMF PortWatch's port calls, transits and trade volumes are estimates from satellite ship positions (AIS), not customs or port authority statistics: tonnages are modelled from ship size and draught, coverage depends on satellite reception, and recent figures are preliminary and revised. Source

Non-commercial sources

These may only be used for non-commercial purposes (What counts as commercial?). They stay off until you confirm non-commercial use on your account page, and a commercial purpose is refused.

What counts as commercial?

Non-commercial doesn't just mean not selling the data. Creative Commons' non-commercial licences rule out any use "primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation". Open-Meteo's free API may only be used for non-commercial purposes, and the IMF asks for its permission before commercial use. So what matters is why you use the data, not whether you publish it: using it inside a business to make money or decide a deal is commercial even if nobody outside sees it.

If you're unsure, treat it as commercial or ask the publisher. Our summary; the publisher's own terms decide.
