Video transcript (33 seconds, music only)
UK government data is spread across many services, each with its own sign-in, format and rules: Companies House, HMRC, HM Land Registry, the Food Standards Agency, DVSA, the EPC register and the Charity Commission. They come together in the GovBridge API.
One key, one way to ask, consistent JSON back. An example request searches Companies House for a company and receives an illustrative response.
What it serves. Available now: Companies House search, profiles, officers, PSC and filings; company verification with profile, officers and PSC in one call; HM Land Registry property sale history; Food Standards Agency hygiene ratings. Depends on provider access: DVSA MOT history, EPC energy ratings and the Charity Commission register. HMRC, test only: Making Tax Digital for VAT, Income Tax, CIS and savings, plus PAYE and Corporation Tax including CT600 via GovTalk, in the HMRC sandbox with synthetic data and no live filing.
GovBridge Assurance: know what changed before a software update. Run checks against a test system and compare each report with the last one. In an illustrative release review, two checks pass and the deadline field check fails as a regression since the previous report.
Built for UK software teams. For developers: one consistent API for supported UK government data. For delivery teams: clear reports on what passed, failed or could not finish, before a release.
GovBridge UK: UK government data and release checks, in one place. govbridge.co.uk. Developer preview. HMRC test environment only. Independent of government.

Compare your team's software test reports before an update. Reports do not certify that software is safe to launch, that tax figures are correct or that HMRC has approved it.
What do passed, failed and blocked mean?
Passed: the expected result was seen. Failed: it did not match. Blocked: the check could not finish, for example because a service was unavailable.
Comparisons use matching test environments and check versions. A report checksum helps verify that the stored file has not changed; it does not independently verify the test.
