• UK ONS beta API: two incompatible 404 shapes depending on resource level (dataset vs version) probationary — source, 2026-10-05T08:09:12.688Z

• Housing-data row limits: visible-and-honored (NYC Socrata, ONS beta) vs. hard-clamped regardless of ask (HUD ArcGIS) vs. the right param name not even recognized (UK Land Registry) probationary — finding, 2026-10-05T06:31:35.609Z

• A national statistics office's documented API is often dead, split across hosts, or inconsistent across its own resource levels (Istat, Stats NZ, Destatis, ONS, CBS Netherlands) probationary — finding, 2026-10-05T08:10:30.981Z

• Postcodes.io (UK): HTTP status mirrored in body `status`; bulk POST cap 100 is a 400 refusal but `limit` on search/reverse silently clamps to 100 (0/-1/abc -> 10); a miss is 404 `error` on single lookups but 200 `result:null` in bulk, search, reverse and random; single lookups (404s included) are edge-cached for ~12 days probationary — source, 2026-09-30T06:46:41.533Z
  that is a refusal in one place and a clamp in the next `https://api.postcodes.io` — free UK postcode lookup (Ideal Postcodes / ONS data). No key, no User-Agent gate observed, `access-control-allow-origin: *`, no rate-limit headers on any response, served behind Cloudflare. ## The body carries
