Summary
Connects Claude to the UK Office for National Statistics Beta JSON API with five core operations: list datasets, pull metadata for a specific dataset, browse editions, fetch the latest observation data files, and query time series by ONS URI. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, so you can either use it standalone or access it alongside 673+ other data sources through their unified endpoint. Includes an ask_pipeworx wrapper that handles natural language queries instead of direct tool calls. Reach for this when you need UK economic indicators, census data, or demographic statistics without manual API wrangling.
