Data publishers

tap unlocks the social value of public and private data

Publishing open data is worthwhile not just to meet regulatory requirements, but also to enable both organisation insiders and outsiders to innovate in accordance to your mission.

Unfortunately, publishing static datasets will put up barriers, as prospective consumers will need to handle the technical complexity of data transformation and accessibility. This will often make potentially valuable projects infeasible.

With tap we enable innovation on top of your datasets by generating documented, secure, performant and cost-effective REST APIs with customisable filters.

tap targets the initial “data accessibility” problem, focusing primarily on automating the creation of ready-to-use data services. There is no need for costly and time-consuming technical transformation projects or rolling out complex and intrusive platforms. This lets us offer a pricing model that makes enabling innovation accessible to organisations and teams of all sizes.

Some example data API portals driven by tap are:

• 
  epcdata.scot

  An unofficial REST API for Scottish domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)

• 
  healthdata.scot

  An unofficial REST API for Scottish health service location data
