About

About Live Directory

Live Directory is an automated, continuously verified directory of free APIs and datasets from official European and UK public-sector sources. We help developers discover and integrate trusted official data quickly, with provenance and confidence on every entry.

How it works

Discovery

We automatically discover public-sector APIs and datasets from official portals, government registries, and other trusted sources.

Verification

Every entry is re-checked on a rolling 6-hour cadence to confirm it is still accessible and working.

Provenance

We extract and track provenance for all metadata, so you always know where each value came from.

Free-access classification

We use explicit, strict classification for free access to help you find tools that are genuinely usable:

  • FREE_NO_AUTHNo authentication required at all
  • FREE_KEY_REQUIREDFree tier, but requires API-key registration
  • FREE_TRIALLimited-time trial or temporary access
  • FREE_OSS_EDUFree for open-source or educational use

Takedown policy

We respect intellectual property and privacy. If you own an API or dataset listed in our directory and would like it removed:

  • Contact us with proof of ownership
  • Specify which entry you want removed
  • We will process requests within 48 hours

We also respect robots.txt directives and do not bypass paywalls or login walls.

Privacy

We take privacy seriously:

  • We never store user API keys or secrets
  • We do not proxy user requests
  • Submitter emails are optional and only used for notifications
  • We only collect publicly available information

API access

Our directory data is available via a public REST API:

GET  /api/v1/entries         # List all entries
GET  /api/v1/entries/:slug   # Get entry details
POST /api/v1/submissions     # Submit new entry

See our methodology for how we score, verify, and track provenance.
