TellMeScotland API

Tell Me Scotland is a portal for accessing public information notices issued by local authorities across Scotland.


The site allows users to:


- Search for public notices such as planning and licensing in an area

- Check roadworks and restrictions on any chosen route

- Search archived notices across the country

- Register to receive alerts by text or email on notices in an area

- Select an area on the map, or from the list below to view notices in that area


This service is supported by an API that allows REST queries returning data in JSON or XML format.


The API allows GET requests for notices in bulk, individually, by type (Planning, Traffic, General, Licensing and Councillor Surgeries) and also details and lists of organisations.


The API also allows POST request for upload of notices by authorised users and organisations.


In order to access the data via the API, a TellMeScotland account is required with REST read-only permissions and associated authorisations.

It is also possible to register individually for notice alerts, or to view the website as an unregistered user, but this does not allow direct access to the API.
