Ordnance Survey

Ordnance Survey is Great Britain's national mapping agency, a government-owned company that maintains the addressing and mapping layer the UK property market runs on - the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN), the TOID, AddressBase, and the OS National Geographic Database. The UK has no MLS; residential listings sit behind the Rightmove/Zoopla duopoly and agency CRM software, so the open layer in this market is public-sector rather than private, and OS is one half of it alongside HM Land Registry. Its API posture is unusually honest for this sector - the OS Data Hub is a self-serve developer portal with real machine-readable contracts, including OGC-conformant OpenAPI 3.0 documents served live and anonymously at api.os.uk for OS NGD API - Features and Tiles, plus published OpenAPI for the OS Downloads and OS Net APIs. The split that matters is licensing, not reachability: OS OpenData products (OS Open UPRN, OS Open TOID, Code-Point Open, OS Open Names, Boundary-Line, OS Open Linked Identifiers) are free and downloadable with no API key at all through the OS Downloads API, while the premium addressing and mapping products behind OS Places API, OS Features API, and the NGD collections require a paid Premium plan or Public Sector Geospatial Agreement (PSGA) membership. RESO plays no part here - the Real Estate Standards Organization standards are a US MLS construct and appear nowhere in the OS estate. Home market is the United Kingdom.

Ordnance Survey publishes 23 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Bounding box API, Collections API, Data Collections API, and 20 more. Tagged areas include Real-Estate, United Kingdom, Land Registry, Geospatial, and Addressing.

Ordnance Survey’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, SDKs, sandbox, changelog, API reference, and 59 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/ordnance-survey: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

imageNote: The `image` property was removed on 2026-08-26. It had been copied verbatim out of a bootstrap template and pointed
  at an icon belonging to groq, not to this company. That asset returns HTTP 200, so the record rendered another company's
  brand rather than a broken image, which is why it went unreported (roadmap#153). No correct icon has been sourced yet. Shipping
  the wrong company's mark is worse than shipping none; re-run the icon backfill once a real asset exists.
