### ADR - 012: Inferring LA from postcode |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We use ONS data to infer local authority from postcode in the property information section. |
||||||
|
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes the National Statistics |
||||||
|
Postcode Lookup (NSPL) and ONS Postcode Directory (ONSPD) datasets, |
||||||
|
which may be used to find a local authority district for a postcode when compiling statistics. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We're using postcodes.io API with postcodes_io gem. |
||||||
|
Postcodes.io uses OS and ONS data which is updated as soon as new data becomes available. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We are not using OS places API due to the lack of data. |
||||||
|
Closest datapoint to LA in OS places api is ADMINISTRATIVE_AREA which does not always match with local authority. |
