Dataset description

This Web service provides a spatial index into the BGS collection of onshore borehole materials in the UK and the Isle of Man, including drillcore, bulk specimens, washed and unwashed cuttings and processed material. The boreholes have been drilled by BGS, or by commercial or public bodies. The name of the borehole, its unique reference code and number (BGS_ID) and the type of material is provided. For some boreholes, multiple types of material are available. Details of the collection are held in the Borehole Materials Database, and may be accessed via the BGS website.

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
