}Why build with us.
Three regulators, one schema
Skip the work of merging CCEW, OSCR, and CCNI yourself. One record format across the UK.
Scores, not raw data
Eight intelligent scores per charity, ready to surface in your product. No scoring pipeline to build.
Evidence included
Fields derived from annual report documents and charity websites, not only the register.
Delivery and limits.
- REST API with versioned schemas.
- Bulk CSV export, up to 500,000 rows per month on Business.
- Classification updates daily. Scores refresh quarterly. Every record carries a last_updated field.

Licensing the data.
An API key covers internal use. If you want to serve our data and scores inside your own product, take the register in bulk, or verify charities as a service, those are licensed separately.
Start small, scale to commercial.
API access is included on Funder (25,000 records/month) and Business (500,000 records/month). Bulk endpoints and embedding rights are a separate data licence. Start free, upgrade when you ship.
