There is bulk data available: download.companieshouse.gov.uk/en_output.html - although admittedly it doesn't contain everything that's available through the API

If you use something like uv you might be able to convert it into a one-liner command line command docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/sc...

requests-html in python will give you a list of links, something like:

from requests_html import HTMLSession
session = HTMLSession()
r = session.get(url)
print(r.html.absolute_links)

One of the low moments of lockdown was when my daughter (then 5ish) got worms. We found them in a fairly disgusting way and then the pharmacist could tell exactly what medicine I needed when I walked in at 11pm without me needing to tell her. I think they're fairly common.

On the topic of the Bank Holidays API, it may well be the most quintessentially British API in existence, with a boolean (true/false) value for "bunting".

And, in case you were wondering, every bank holiday is a good day for bunting unless someone died for our sins! www.api.gov.uk/gds/bank-hol...

Not quite the same, but there is a "show me only the people who don't post much" feed: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Thanks for your posting today - I've found it really useful

Eg this project from London Sport, which extends the Open Active data standard to apply to community clubs: londonsport.org/our-work/spo... - similarities to how 360Giving standard was extended to add DEI data.

Some key learning from the evaluation on how to fund this stuff:
- make use of existing data standards (extend them if necessary)
- develop and maintain infrastructure (fix the plumbing)
- try to turn "available" data into "accessible" outputs

Looks like you're right: findthatcharity.uk/dashboard/ge... - difference in hourly mean pay is 10.7% for <250 employees, compared to 11%+ in all the other bands.

Although charities only have to pay the tier 1 fee no matter how big they are.

Interestingly the gender pay gap data only records company numbers for organisations, so there's no way to definitively identify charities (unless also registered companies) or other types of organisations.

ICO could also theoretically do this with the Charity register - charities with over £500k income area required to report the number of staff. Around 930 of these have over 250 employees.

I've still got the terrible new one rather than the awful old one

Somerset House?

I'm passionate about open data, and I run a couple of websites that help people get the most out of this data:

findthatcharity.uk - brings together data on 000s of charities and nonprofits into one place in a standard format
findthatpostcode.uk - navigate the weird world of UK geodata

Sounds like a "world cup of databites" might be needed
