How this service works
Penny Data: pay-per-call data for AI agents. UK company, LEI, postcode, carbon intensity, FX reference rate and food hygiene data as JSON, paid per call in USDC on Base with x402. No API key or account.
Output
A JSON object containing the queried postcode, a count of matching establishments, and an array of food business records each with: business name, business type, address, local authority, FSA hygiene rating (e.g. 1–5 or Exempt), rating scheme (e.g. FHRS), rating date, FHRS ID, FSA ratings page URL, and whether a new rating is pending.
Example use cases
Pre-visit restaurant hygiene check
“Before I book a table at a place in the M1 1AE postcode, can you pull up all the food hygiene ratings for businesses there so I can see which ones are highest rated?”
Food safety compliance monitoring
“I need to check the current FSA food hygiene ratings for all food businesses at postcode SW1A 1AA — can you fetch that data for me?”
Travel app food safety enrichment
“I'm building a guide to eating out in Leeds city centre — can you get me the food hygiene ratings for all the establishments at postcode LS1 4AJ?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://pennydatahq.com/api/food-hygiene/%7Bpostcode%7D?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured FSA food hygiene data for all businesses at a specific UK postcode, without requiring an API key or account — paying only per call in USDC on Base via x402. Prefer this over scraping the FSA website directly, or over general search, when you need machine-readable JSON output suitable for automated agent workflows or data enrichment pipelines.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed UK postcode returns an empty result or error
- Postcode with no registered food businesses returns count 0 and empty establishments array
- Network or payment failure (x402 USDC payment not completed) blocks the response
- Postcode outside England, Wales, or Northern Ireland may not be covered by FHRS scheme
- FSA upstream data may lag real-world inspection changes by days or weeks
