local-links-manager: Exporting Local Authority links to services
Exports are run daily and produce a links_to_services_provided_by_local_authorities.csv
file in the public/data directory. This is publicly available at
https://local-links-manager.publishing.service.gov.uk/links-export which
redirects to the static file at /data/links_to_services_provided_by_local_authorities.csv
at present.
A link to this file is published at https://data.gov.uk/dataset/local-authority-services. They also host a cached, zipped version which is updated daily.
The file contains the following headers (we tried to keep these as similar to the localdirect.gov.uk file as possible) :
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| Authority Name | The name of the local authority |
| SNAC | The SNAC of the local authority |
| GSS | The GSS code of the local authority |
| Description | The name of the service defined by the combination of LGSL and LGIL codes |
| LGSL | The Local Government Service List code for the service |
| LGIL | The Local Government Interaction List code for the service |
| URL | The URL corresponding to the local authority's provision of the service |
| Supported by GOV.UK | Whether the GOV.UK website uses this link |
The file is generated by running the rake task:
bundle exec rake export:links:all
