Oscar Research · Data Delivery & Integration

Use Oscar data where your team already works

Download the latest data when you need it, keep spreadsheets connected to Oscar, or integrate licensed public sector data directly into your own systems.

Oscar supports everything from standard Customer Area downloads to live spreadsheet connections, APIs, webservices and bespoke delivery routes. Start with the way you want to use the data and we can help you choose the right approach.

What is Data Delivery & Integration?

This page is about how existing Oscar data reaches the tools and systems you use. If your requirement goes beyond accessing an existing database — for example you need a bespoke dataset, additional research, a callable data/AI capability or interpretation — the wider Oscar services can take over from there.

Start with how you want to work

How do you want to use your Oscar data?

Most delivery requirements fall into one of these four routes.

01

I just need to download the latest data

Use the Oscar Customer Area to access your current subscriptions, make selections and download full or changed data files.

Open Customer Area →
02

I want my spreadsheet connected to Oscar

Bring live Oscar data into Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets so your team can keep working in familiar tools while refreshing from the current source.

03

I need Oscar data inside our systems

Integrate licensed Oscar data with your CRM, database, application, webform, BI environment or other internal software using APIs or webservices.

04

My requirement is more bespoke

When standard delivery is not enough, Oscar can configure bespoke datasets, feeds, enrichment and delivery around the information your team actually needs.

Standard customer access

Access your subscribed data through the Customer Area

For many customers, the simplest route is still the right one: log in, choose the subscription you need and download the latest data.

FULL DOWNLOADS

Get the current version of your subscribed dataset

Download the complete file for an active Oscar subscription whenever you need a fresh copy.

CHANGES

Download changes since your last update

Where enabled, use changes downloads to update your existing data without replacing the entire file.

API ACCESS

Use subscription-specific API access where available

Active subscriptions can expose a customer-specific endpoint so licensed Oscar data can be consumed programmatically.

Connected spreadsheets

Keep using Excel or Google Sheets — with Oscar data behind it

Not every integration needs development work. Oscar data can be brought into spreadsheets so teams can analyse, filter and work with current data in tools they already know.

MICROSOFT EXCEL

Refresh Oscar data inside an Excel workflow

Use the spreadsheet delivery guide to connect an Oscar data source and reduce repeated manual download/import steps.

GOOGLE SHEETS

Bring live Oscar data into shared Sheets

Keep collaborative spreadsheet workflows while using Oscar as the underlying public sector data source.

GOOD FOR

Teams that want freshness without changing tools

Useful for account planning, list management, reporting and operational workflows that already live in spreadsheets.

System integration

Move Oscar data into your CRM, database or application

When data needs to become part of another system, Oscar can support live or scheduled access through APIs, webservices and bespoke integration routes.

When data delivery is only the starting point

Explore the wider Oscar data and intelligence ecosystem

If the requirement is not simply “get this Oscar data into that system”, another Oscar service may be the more useful starting point.
