Your Datastore API FAQs

Yes – as part of your Local Insight subscription, you get an included 20MB/month of data to use with the API.

We offer an increased data allowance as a paid add-on, get in touch with us to discuss how this could work for you.

The API is designed to deliver a wide range of up-to-date, open-source indicators. As a result, a small number of outdated or licensed datasets available in Local Insight are not included.

Not at all! The Datastore API’s inbuilt Query Builder makes it easy to put API calls together for people of any level of technical experience.
