Bulk data & releases

Download whole datasets and lookup tables, and keep track of the versioned releases they come from.

  • List downloadsSee every complete dataset you can download in one go, with its size, how many records it holds and a hash to check it arrived intact.get/exports
  • Download a datasetDownload one complete set of observations as a single JSON file. Much easier than paging through thousands of requests when you want everything.get/exports/{export-id}
  • List lookup tablesSee every lookup table you can download: the area codes and names in each boundary release, crosswalks flattened to one row per mapping, and named-location membership.get/lookups
  • Download a lookup tableDownload a whole lookup table as CSV or NDJSON, ready to load into a spreadsheet or database.get/lookups/{lookup-id}
  • Get the current releaseEvery response comes from the current Atlas release: a fingerprinted set of the artifacts behind the API. This returns its releaseId and artifact hashes.get/atlas-release
