What is the Defra Data Services Platform (DSP)
Created: 31 October 2023 Updated: 17 November 2023
The Defra Data Services Platform (DSP) is a collection of web-based services that enable Defra bodies to share their datasets with the public and/or with colleagues, contractors and partners. It can be accessed at Defra Data Services Platform.
What is available on the DSP?
APIs - Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provide IT Developers with an easy way of accessing and using data within their software applications.
APP Gallery - Some of our data is used and displayed in a wide range of Defra and third party applications.
Surveys - This offers a direct link to the Geomatics survey data (Lidar, aerial photography, etc.). It opens as map download tool including all tools necessary to select and download LIDAR data.
Support – A range of knowledge articles and guidance to support the use of the DSP. This space can be used to ask a question about the data or services, request offline datasets and let us know about any problems encountered or any feedback you may have.
