What is REST API?

Our REST API provides programmatic access to the same NHS board paper data that powers Board Paper Scraper. Use standard HTTP requests with JSON responses to integrate NHS trust intelligence into your own tools, CRMs, dashboards, or workflows.

Setup in 3 steps

1

Get your API key

Sign up for a Growth plan or above at boardpaperscraper.com, then generate an API key from your dashboard under Settings → API.

2

Make your first request

Test the API with a simple trust search:

curl "https://boardpaperscraper.com/api/v1/trusts/search?q=london" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
3

Explore the endpoints

The API has 5 endpoints: search trusts, get trust details, list board papers, get board paper content, and download PDFs. Full docs at boardpaperscraper.com/docs/api.

What you can do

The API exposes these capabilities for your integrations.

Search and filter trusts

Search by name, filter by type (acute, mental health, ambulance), region, or country. Paginated results with full trust metadata.

Access board paper content

Get extracted text from any board paper. Our AI has already parsed the PDFs, so you get clean text ready for analysis.

Download original PDFs

Get direct download links for original board paper PDF files when you need the source document.

Build CRM integrations

Pipe NHS trust intelligence into Salesforce, HubSpot, or any CRM. Enrich your accounts with board paper insights automatically.

Create internal dashboards

Questions Everyone Asks

Frequently asked questions

  • Bearer token authentication. Include your API key in the Authorization header: 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'. Keys are generated from your dashboard.

  • Rate limits depend on your plan. Growth plans include API access with a monthly call allowance. Scale and Enterprise plans include higher limits. Check your dashboard for current usage.

  • All endpoints return JSON. Responses include a data field with the results and, for list endpoints, a pagination field with page information.

  • No, the API is read-only. You can search, browse, and download data but cannot create, update, or delete any records. This is by design for security.
