03Notes & Limitations
Behaviours and constraints worth knowing before you build with these nodes.
- Series codes (CDIDs) are case-sensitive and only resolve when paired with the exact dataset they belong to, so a valid code returns no data if the dataset ID is wrong.
- The ONS data API is an open, unauthenticated public service, so no API key is needed but its availability carries no formal service-level guarantee.
