In reference to your request for information on the possible provision of an application program interface (API) with the Office of Fair Trading’s (OFT) database, the OFT system is presently still undergoing a significant re-development of the database functionality, data content, quality control and privacy considerations around the information OFT retains and by implication, the information that can be released.
Presently, an API of the type you describe is still under consideration for development as an option to facilitate general public access to certain data sets derived from the database. Another option is a ‘portal style’ on the OFT website for members of the public to search and extract data. The OFT is not able to provide any definitive information on any outcome as yet.
