Well written, just because there is an API available doesn't mean that you can just connect product A to product B seamlessly. However, there are tools out there that will enable even non-technical people to connect different API's together, so long as the API provider has put in the effort. I'm talking about Zapier and Integrately (there are more, but these are two I have used). We're constantly developing our API's, it's not just lip service to the "OpenAPI" movement. Also, they are a core component of our platform, as such our customers can access the API keys themselves and even setup their own webhooks. I've had the misfortune of trying to connect to another proptech provider recently and it took over 2 weeks just to get a link to the API documentation, that wasn't a fun experience.

UPRN's are a great idea, however, they need to be free. At the moment, to look up a UPRN by address, or to get an address from a UPRN you need an expensive licence. Which is a shame, as it will slow adoption.

Such a shame that you cannot look up a UPRN from an address, as a business, without paying a licence fee. This will only slow adoption.

It would seem the UPRN is still closed source, you need at least an addressbase core licence (at a cost) to be able to find the UPRN of a specific property. The UPRN download available from Ordance Survey is basically just a list of UPRN's with the lat/longs. Pretty useless for any proptech supplier. Until this information is made free I can't see it being used by proptech companies as a unique identifier. Shame they promised so much, but I'm guessing they (Ordinance Survey and the Post Office) still make significant income from their addressing products.
