Land Register API
An OpenAPI 3.0.1 contract, version 6.0.0, titled "Land Register API" and published in the public Business Gateway developer pack. It describes two GET operations — /title/{titleNumber} and /draft-titles/{titleNumber} — and states that it "aims to be the primary method of accessing register data for HM Land Registry". No baseURL is recorded here because the specification declares no public production server: its servers list contains only localhost ports and internal HMLR hosts under development, test and *.stp.hmlr.zone. Access is not a developer product at all — it must be requested through the Digital Register project team, an individual bearer token is minted per consuming service, and the consumer must file a Fraud Impact Assessment and must not expose the data externally. Recorded as a real published contract for an internal government API, not as a callable public API.
Land Register API is one of 14 APIs that HM Land Registry publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.
Tagged areas include Title, Property Records, Land Registry, Internal, and United Kingdom. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.
This API exposes
