Data.parliament.uk
The Dataset Explorer's underlying Linked Data API, hosted at `lda.data.parliament.uk`, is still live: a keyless GET against `bills.json` returned real, paginated bill records (2,000+ results) with a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header, and `endpoints.json` lists dozens of other datasets (committees, attendance, members) served the same way. It's a legacy platform, though — Parliament now also runs newer per-domain REST APIs (`members-api.parliament.uk`, `bills-api.parliament.uk`) that cover the same ground with a modern interface and are worth checking first for new integrations.
