GOV.UK Organisation Details (UK Government Departments, Agencies and Public Bodies)
govuk/get-organisation
Looks up one UK government organisation (a department, agency or other public body) by its GOV.UK slug, such as hm-revenue-customs. Returns its title, organisation type, GOV.UK status (live, closed or exempt), abbreviation, public page address, and the organisations linked to it: parents, children, those it replaced and those that replaced it. An unknown slug returns a clear error. Data as published by GOV.UK under the Open Government Licence v3.0, served by Omnial; not an official GOV.UK product.
