Footnotes
- LFS data has been reweighted from January 2019 onwards. There is a discontinuity in the timeseries at this point and comparisons to earlier data should be considered with caution.
- All estimates should be viewed alongside associated 95% confidence intervals as shown in the underlying data.

Download data set as CSV
Get familiar with the data. The CSV response will render its categories and column headers in a human-readable format (instead of machine-readable IDs).
Guidance: Download data set as CSV
Data set metadata
Look up human-readable labels and their corresponding machine-readable IDs to help you create data set queries.
Guidance: Get data set metadata
Query data set using GET
Quickly test the machine-readable IDs in a range of basic queries.
Guidance: Query data set (GET)
Query data set using POST
The POST endpoint is recommended for production level pipeline queries. POST requires a query to be built and supplied in JSON format using third party software such as Postman and Insomnia or programming languages such as Python, R, etc.
Guidance: Query data set (POST)
