CareGist exposes daily-refreshed UK care-provider data through the same layer that powers the dashboard and exports. The goal is not raw feed access alone. The goal is operationally usable regulatory data.
Dashboard, exports, and API on one data layer
Use CareGist in the way your team actually works: browser first, export next, API when embedding and automation matter.
Dashboard-first workflow
Start with search, nearby discovery, saved comparisons, exports, and monitoring before writing integration code.
Geospatial search
Query by postcode, region, service type, and nearby radius using cleaned coordinates and locality fields.
Operational exports
Move lists into analyst and operator workflows with plan-based CSV exports and field visibility.
API access
Use the same cleaned dataset programmatically when you need embedding, product integration, or recurring automation.
Monitoring layer
Track providers for rating changes so teams do not have to poll the raw register manually.
Daily refresh
Data syncs against the public CQC register every day; we avoid claiming live source updates.

}How webhooks work
Business plans can register outbound webhooks for rating changes. CareGist signs each payload with an HMAC SHA-256 signature in X-CareGist-Signature.
The currently supported event is provider.rating_changed. Delivery retries use 1s, 2s, and 4s backoff. Failed deliveries remain visible in the dashboard so teams can spot broken endpoints without digging through support tickets.
Webhooks are intended for operational sync and alerting workflows, not as a substitute for daily batch exports.
