Open UK policing data as an API, from the official data.police.uk service (UK Home Office). Pull street-level crimes within about a mile of any coordinate for a given month — each with its category, approximate street, location and judicial outcome — query stop-and-search records (type, demographics, object of search, outcome and legislation) for the same area, browse the 44 territorial police forces with contact and engagement details, and list the standard crime categories. Covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Ideal for property and neighbourhood-safety apps, real-estate and relocation tools, local-news and civic-data dashboards, and crime and policing research.

Every member of the United States Congress as an API — all 12,766 legislators, current and historical, from 1789 to today. Look up any member by Bioguide or GovTrack id, or search and filter the full roster by name, US state, party and chamber (Senate / House), and list the current members of Congress. Each record carries the member's name, gender, birthday, party, state and district, chamber, the number of terms served and the complete term-by-term history with start and end dates, plus cross-reference ids (GovTrack, OpenSecrets, FEC, Wikipedia, Wikidata). Ideal for civic-tech, news, government-transparency, lobbying and political-research apps. Data from the public-domain @unitedstates project.
