What you're integrating

Built to embed, not to demo.

REST API

POST a postcode and an intent. Back comes an overall score, five weighted dimensions with reasoning, a narrative, recommendations, and cited data. Bearer-token auth, 30 requests a minute, JSON in and out.

Drop-in widget

Single-origin script for any page. No API key on the client. Reads from the 24-hour cache so embed traffic never hits live pricing. CORS-enabled, 60 requests an hour per origin.

Four intent modes

Moving, opening a business, investing, and research. Same postcode, different scores. The engine reweights five dimensions to match what the reader is actually deciding. Moving weighs Safety 25% · Schools 20% · Transport 20% · Amenities 15% · Cost 20%. Business rewrites the lot.

Seven public datasets

Postcodes.io, Police.uk (12 months of street-level incidents), IMD 2025, OpenStreetMap (amenities, transport, schools), HM Land Registry, Environment Agency flood risk, and Ofsted inspections. Every response carries a data_freshness block so you know exactly what was read and when.

Plain-English read

Numbers tell you what. The narrative explains why. Specific facts cited inline: median sold price, YoY change, crime rate per intent, flood zone, nearest Outstanding school within 1.5km. No vague copy. Every claim is grounded in one of the datasets above.

Self-serve dashboard

Manage keys, monitor calls, view a 30-day trend. Cached hits don't count against your quota, so embed traffic is effectively free. Billing and quota live with the account. No procurement loop to use the product.
