Terms of use

The information provided by this API is available under the Open Government Licence 3.0

Before you use this information, you should read and comply with the full terms of the licence.

In order to provide CQC's public data services we ask that all organisations consuming this API add an additional query parameter named partnerCode to all requests. If you are a CQC Syndication partner the value for this code will be provided to you, otherwise an informative but concise code representing your organisation should be chosen. For example:

https://api.cqc.org.uk/public/v1/providers?perPage=1000&partnerCode=NHSCHOICES
https://api.cqc.org.uk/public/v1/providers/1-1016936648?partnerCode=NHSCHOICES

Rate Limiting

Clients including a partnerCode in requests may make up to 2000 requests per minute. Higher request rates, or requests without a partnerCode may be subject to throttling. An API request that has been throttled will result in a HTTP response containing a status code 429 "Too Many Requests".
