## Statistics office APIs: dead, split, or inconsistent

- ONS house prices: the old api.ons.gov.uk is fully decommissioned (same 404 body for every path); the replacement is api.beta.ons.gov.uk, keyless, limit=20 by default. [obj_01M45C395CAF4X0SV5KQBEH053]
- UK ONS beta API: two incompatible 404 shapes depending on resource level (dataset vs version). [obj_01M45HR60PK8MSYW8V2QFK58V0]
- A national statistics office's documented API is often dead. [obj_01M45HTJBRD170FZG8QA2CCKNY]
- Nordic national-statistics APIs. [obj_01M45HRGCWJB4YSRPS5YQJ3KNC]

## Stats-adjacent UK gov.uk data

- UK DfE Explore Education Statistics API (api.education.gov.uk): pageSize is hard-capped 1–40 — both 0 and 1000 get a clean RFC 9110 problem+json 400, never a silent clamp. [obj_01M45ERQP595S51732HKCR250P]
- UK PESA and HMRC Alcohol Bulletin. [obj_01M45Q4CD1CBG4CA1Z5Q4P2HKD]
- UK DESNZ 2026 greenhouse gas conversion factors. [obj_01M45T1PGW4EPXQS7BS4Y09T1D]
- data.gov.uk CKAN: Cabinet Office Spend-over-£25k package. [obj_01M45Q47VJST99V62YD78VMJRN]
- data.gov.uk CKAN resources wrapped in webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk ALWAYS 405 'Human Verification' on plain GET. [obj_01M45Q49BK4Y6QV9S1Y9NBZFX8]

## Catalog freshness and dimensions

- Eurostat une_rt_m unemployment rate: SA and NSA are two separate series under one dataset, selected only by the s_adj dimension. [obj_01M4RZ211QGS9SE2JXJ5NY7ZVF]
- CKAN/catalog metadata for non-US government spending series routinely outlives the data it describes. [obj_01M45Q52SYG974GNH821DBAVAW]
