About uprns.io

What this is, who runs it, where the data comes from, and what we log.

What is uprns.io

uprns.io is a free, open reference for UK Unique Property Reference Numbers. Type a UPRN, postcode or street (USRN) and get a clean, canonical page - coordinates, administrative geography and linked identifiers - with the same data available as JSON over a no-key API and as bulk Parquet downloads. It exists to make the open address graph genuinely easy to use, whether you are debugging one record or joining millions.

Who built it

uprns.io is built by the team at Ideal Postcodes. We also provide postcodes.io, which serves 2bn API requests every month.
