[OpenCharities @opencharities]

@scottymeuk You can get individual records as json, e.g. http://t.co/lwI1ZGKI6e but no full blown API. We’re thinking of adding one though

@fibroaction you can email info at opencorporates dot com

@noelito you can download a dump from which you can extract that

[OpenCharities @opencharities]

@dianamanson1 It's just a CSV file. You'll need to geocode the addresses

[OpenCharities @opencharities]

@MIDAS_ANALYSIS Sure. What's the use case?

[OpenCharities @opencharities]

@lost_fortis Charity Commission changed their website, and broke our importer. Hoping to fix...

[OpenCharities @opencharities]

@MikeGalloway yes, discovered that this weekend. Charity Commission obviously haven't heard of redirects :-(

[OpenCharities @opencharities]

@WTBBC We've queued it to update but the Charity Commission website seems to be down

[OpenCharities @opencharities]

@MikeGalloway One is enough. Will investigate. Travelling next few days, but will look into it later in the week

[OpenCharities @opencharities]

@imshay_ No idea who this is.

[OpenCharities @opencharities]

@imshay_ Do you mean trustee of a charity listed on the site? You'll need to contact the charity or Charity Comm
