SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill resolves the ambiguity of UK geographic data by mapping postcodes, coordinates, or administrative codes to their corresponding political and local government boundaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Geographic Resolution: Convert postcodes or latitude/longitude coordinates into specific administrative areas like Westminster constituencies, wards, or unitary authorities.
  • Boundary Data: Retrieve boundary polygons and historical generation data for UK administrative regions.
  • Use Case: If you have a list of customer postcodes and need to identify their respective Members of Parliament, this skill provides the necessary GSS codes to link that data directly to the Parliament Members API.

Quick Start

Use the mysoc-mapit skill to identify the Westminster constituency for the postcode SW1P3JA.
