Domain knowledge for GOV.UK Content — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

GOV.UK Content API

Access UK government pages, search GOV.UK, and browse government organisations. No auth required.

Data Model

  • Content — Pages on GOV.UK identified by their URL path (e.g. vat-rates, check-uk-visa). Each page has title, description, details.body (HTML), document_type, schema_name, and linked content.
  • Search results — Paginated results with total, start, and results[] containing title, description, link, format, public_timestamp, and organisations.
  • Organisations — Government departments and agencies with title, abbreviation, format, govuk_status, and hierarchical relationships (parent_organisations, child_organisations).

Gotchas

  • Content paths: Strip the leading / from GOV.UK URLs. Use vat-rates not /vat-rates.
  • Search pagination: Use start (0-based offset) and count (page size, max 1500). Default count is 10.
  • Organisation pagination: Uses page (1-based) with page_size of 20. Total of ~1250 organisations.
  • HTML content: Page body content (details.body) is HTML, not plain text.
  • Nested paths: Multi-segment paths work (e.g. government/publications/autumn-budget-2024).
