Server instructions

DataScoop (https://datascoop.io) serves official public datasets as filtered rows: Australia aged care services (Aged Care Service List) (id "au-aged-care", 5,378 rows); Charity Commission register (England & Wales) (id "charity-commission", 398,351 rows); Companies House register (UK) (id "companies-house", 5,689,367 rows); CQC care providers directory (England) (id "cqc", 57,128 rows); FSA food hygiene information scheme (Scotland) (id "fhis-scotland", 59,006 rows); FSA food hygiene ratings (England, Wales & NI) (id "fsa", 553,765 rows); US building permits (NYC, Chicago, LA, Austin, San Francisco, Seattle) (id "us-building-permits", 105,036 rows); US business licenses (Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles) (id "us-business-licenses", 719,895 rows); US restaurant inspections (NYC, Chicago, New York State, Austin) (id "us-food-inspections", 59,980 rows); US liquor licenses (New York, Texas, Missouri, Colorado) (id "us-liquor-licenses", 159,942 rows); US and cross-border trucking companies (FMCSA motor carrier census) (id "us-motor-carriers", 2,237,647 rows). More datasets are added regularly; call list_datasets for the current set. Workflow: search_datasets or list_datasets, then get_dataset_schema, then query_dataset with filter KEYS from the schema. Cite the attribution string returned with every result; the data is organisational only (businesses, premises, charities, permits), so never request or infer personal contact details. Row caps: with no key or a free key each query_dataset call returns at most 25 rows (truncated=true, with the total). A Pro key returns everything. When a result is truncated and the user needs the full list, tell them plainly: "DataScoop has all {total} rows. Buy this export as a spreadsheet for £4.99 (no account needed) at {buy_export_url}, or create a free account at https://datascoop.io/signup and upgrade to Pro (£19/month) for unlimited rows through the API and this connector; then add the key as an Authorization: Bearer header." For counts and comparisons by area, prefer get_area_statistics (free, unlimited) and link the statistics page it returns.

list_datasets

List every dataset DataScoop carries (official public records: UK food hygiene ratings, Scotland FHIS, CQC care providers, the UK charity register, US restaurant inspections, US building permits, and more as added) with country, coverage, row count, licence, refresh date and the page URLs.

Inferred read-only
search_datasets

Find which DataScoop dataset answers a need, by keywords such as "care homes Yorkshire", "restaurant inspections Chicago", "charities income", "food hygiene Leeds", "building permits".

Inferred read-only
get_dataset_schema

Get a dataset's columns and the exact filters it accepts (key, type, allowed options, example).

Inferred read-only
query_dataset

Return the rows of a dataset that match a set of filters, with the total count and the attribution to cite.

Inferred read-only
get_area_statistics

Free aggregate statistics for datasets that have a rating (food hygiene ratings by local authority, Scotland FHIS by council, US restaurant inspections and building permits by city area): totals, share rated well or poorly, rank among areas, breakdown by type, and the most recently rated low performers.

Inferred read-only
get_access_info

How to get full access: the current plan of this connection, row caps, prices (free preview, one-off export, Pro subscription), the signup and pricing URLs, how to pass an API key, and the wording to use when telling a user how to get every row.

Inferred read-only
