UK Police Crime Scraper

Pulls street-level crime reports around any coordinate through the official police.uk open data API. No login, no proxy, no browser.

Input

FieldTypeNotes
latitudestringRequired. Centre point latitude. Default 51.5074.
longitudestringRequired. Centre point longitude. Default -0.1278.
monthstringYYYY-MM. Omit for the most recent published month.
maxItemsintegerCap on crimes returned. Default 100.

Output

One row per crime: id, category, month, streetName, streetId, latitude, longitude, locationType, locationSubtype, outcomeCategory, outcomeDate, context, persistentId.

Notes

  • Leave month unset unless you need a specific one. police.uk publishes several weeks in arrears, so a hardcoded recent month silently returns nothing once the calendar moves past it. Omitted, the API serves the latest month it actually has.
  • The API returns everything within roughly a one mile radius with no server-side paging — a central London point yields several thousand rows, which is what maxItems is for.
  • Locations are deliberately approximate. Each crime is snapped to a nearby anonymous map point ("On or near ..."), never the actual address, so coordinates identify a street, not a building or a victim.
  • outcome_status is null for a large share of records, which means no outcome has been recorded yet rather than no action taken.
