Open standards and open APIs

$download_content = get_field('download_content');

When open data is standardised and uses an open API, it’s easier to read and access, creating opportunities for startups, researchers and communities to innovate with it.

The ODI helped create the momentum to develop open standards for retail banking data and is now using open standards to help the UK get more physically active through the OpenActive initiative.
