I built a UK data API platform with 37 endpoints. Here's how it works

I’ve been building this solo for about 14 months and just went live last week.

What it is

StaticCreation is an API marketplace for UK public sector data. Instead of scraping Companies House, DVSA, Land Registry, EPC, and a dozen other sources separately, you get one API key that works across everything.

The problem I kept hitting

Every time I built something that needed UK data, I’d spend weeks writing scrapers, handling rate limits, parsing inconsistent formats, and maintaining pipelines that break every time a government site changes. I figured other devs were doing the same thing.

What’s in there

• 1.2 billion records across 16 datasets
• Property: EPC certificates, Land Registry transactions, planning applications
• Vehicles: DVLA data, full MOT history (832m test records), MIB insurance checks
• Business: Companies House profiles, officers, charges, filings
• Plus: energy data, school/Ofsted ratings, crime stats, food data, fuel prices, trademarks, and more

How pricing works

Buy tokens once (starts at £1.50 for 100), spend them per call. No subscriptions, no separate plans per dataset. One balance works across every endpoint.

Combined intelligence endpoints

This is what I’m most proud of. Instead of calling 5 APIs yourself and joining the data, one call to Property Intelligence returns EPC + crime + schools + energy + price history for any UK address. Same idea for vehicles and companies.

The stack

FastAPI backend, PostgreSQL, self-hosted on dedicated hardware in the UK. All data runs through my own ETL pipelines — no reselling third-party APIs. 15 GB cloud storage included for every paying customer.

What I’d love feedback on

• Is the pricing model clear enough?
• Are there UK datasets you’d want that I’m missing?
• Would you actually use something like this?

Happy to answer any questions about the build, the data partnerships, or the tech behind it.
