Directory data

OpenStreetMap directory data

Source, alterations, attribution and the public machine-readable data offer.

Attribution and licence

Directory records identified as community mapped contain data © OpenStreetMap contributors. The OpenStreetMap-derived database is made available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL) 1.0.

Source snapshot

The reviewed source is the United Kingdom extract supplied by Geofabrik, extracted from OpenStreetMap at 20:21:06 UTC on 27 August 2026. Each offered row also carries its OpenStreetMap element link and source publication timestamp.

Alterations made

We filtered the snapshot to named automotive features, mapped a reviewed set of OpenStreetMap tags into directory categories, normalised searchable text and UK postcodes, and used a representative coordinate for each accepted feature. We did not infer ratings, regulator approval or owner verification from OpenStreetMap.

Public data offer

The active OpenStreetMap-derived directory layer is available as a paginated, machine-readable JSON offer. Pages are ordered by stable listing ID and limited to 500 rows. For privacy and source-boundary safety, phone numbers and email addresses are excluded, as are private raw and normalised ingestion payloads.
