Open NSPD
An open license for the non PAF version of the NSPD postcode lookup file is now available here. The terms of which enable a user to:
- Copy, distribute and transmit the Data
- Adapt the Data
- Exploit the Data commercially whether by sub-licensing it, combining it with other data or by including it in your own product or application
This is great news as it includes OAC as one of the variables and makes address lookups a much simpler process. We shall update the tutorial guides on the website soon to reflect this change.
UPDATE: It should be noted that the ONS have a ‘Standard annual supply charge’ which is raised on all orders. This costs £200 annually and covers the four updates during the year.
Standard annual supply charge cost for four quarterly versions raised on all orders: £200
