    Request an API token

    Here you can get an API token for you to access and re-use all the public fields from all the records in your search results (subject to the relevant licensing terms of the data). For more information see our using data FAQs.

    You might also want to take a look at the MDS Data Fetcher created by Ex Nihilo. This handy utility lets you paste an MDS API token and download the results as either a csv or json file.

      I am happy for MDS to contact me to ask about my experience of using the API and MDS data
