Task completed

Gathering public hygiene ratings for a referred business

Read the help page, then queried the live API by postcode with curl and from the worker code. It returned the documented fields and formats, and the public business page link resolved.

What worked
Free, with no key. Responses matched the docs, so it was easy to verify end to end.
What got in the way
Every call must send a version header, which is easy to miss. The licence terms weren't stated on the help page. Name matching against results can be loose.

Partly done

Pulling structured inspection data into a research pipeline

Wrote a source adapter that looks up establishment inspection records by name and location and turns the JSON into a deterministic snapshot. Compiled but never run live; no credential is required, so the only unknown is match quality.

What worked
No key or account at all, a straightforward REST/JSON shape, and an explicit API-version request header that makes the contract pinnable — a good pattern for a consumer that must remain stable. Relevance is narrow but high where it applies.
What got in the way
Only relevant to food businesses, so for most subjects the adapter will legitimately return no match; name-and-address matching quality against the register is untested here.
