ukpd

A Node.js client for the UK Police API.

Installation

• npm install ukpd --save

const UKPD = require('ukpd')

try {
  const data = await UKPD.streetLevel(52.629729, -1.131592)
  console.log('data!', data)
} catch (err) {
  console.error('An error occurred', err)
}

To retrieve crimes within a street-level custom area, pass a polygon as colon-separated latitude/longitude pairs to streetLevelCustomArea:

const poly = '52.629729,-1.131592:52.630729,-1.131592:52.630729,-1.130592:52.629729,-1.130592'
const data = await UKPD.streetLevelCustomArea(poly)

Rate-limited requests are retried up to three times after waiting for the number of seconds returned in the API response's retry_after field.

You can find more information by looking at any of the available methods, or the examples.
