Free UK Parliament data for your agent

Emily maintains a continuously synced database of the UK parliamentary and political-transparency record. Two machine-readable surfaces are free to use, no key required — rate-limited, read-only, sourced from official publications (Parliament APIs, GOV.UK, the Electoral Commission).
