# Bulk checks, monitoring and API — approval-number

> Check a list of approval numbers against the FSA register, watch a supplier list for change, or query the history programmatically.

## Bulk checks, monitoring and API

The pages here are free. What is not free is doing this across a supplier list, every month, on a register that publishes no history.

### Who does this at volume

- **Retail and foodservice technical teams.** Your approved
supplier list is only as good as its last check. 2,846 establishments have
left this register since 2020, and nothing tells you when one of yours does.
- **Importers and customs agents.** An oval mark on a
consignment has to resolve to a real, current approval.
- **Auditors and certification bodies.** The date range matters:
was this establishment approved *on the date of the consignment*? That
question needs the history, not today's snapshot.
- **Anyone reconciling suppliers to premises.** Three number
formats coexist, and 400 competent authorities issue them.

### What we can do on your list

- **Resolve a list.** Send approval numbers or names; get back a
CSV with the trading name, town, competent authority, approved activities, and
the first and last month each appears in an FSA snapshot.
- **Answer a dated question.** Was this number approved in March
2023? We hold the snapshot.
- **Watch a supplier list.** This is the one that matters here:
the FSA republishes rather than reporting change. We compare each new snapshot
to the last and tell you what moved.
- **Query it.** A JSON endpoint by approval number, returning
the full presence history.

Priced case by case. Say what you need and we answer with a figure and a
sample run against your own list.

### Tell us what you need to check

Describe the list or the watch. We reply with a sample run against your own data, and a price. No payment is taken on this site.

Every request is answered by hand. Your details are used to reply and nothing else — see the [privacy page](/privacy.md).

Want the register as a dataset instead? [The prepared datasets, with prices](/data.md).
