Open your Data

Our vision is for an active, healthy city for everyone. Increasing opportunity and participation in physical activity helps improve lives. But getting the word out can be difficult. That's where open data comes in.
Our activity finder works because of open data. Things like class times, location and cost are shared by clubs and groups on OpenActive compliant booking systems and our activity finder pulls all of that information together. It means that all the information people need to find and start a new activity is in one place. This includes descriptions, times, prices, locations and availability of sessions.
It does not include personal customer data (things like names, emails, payment information), commercially sensitive data or participation and attendance data.
Opening your data simply means making it easier for people to find out about your activity when they search on the internet. The more people know about you, the more people are likely to join in!
How to get involved
If you already use a booking system, it could be as easy as clicking a button! Check out our list of booking systems below to see which systems are already OpenActive enabled, and how to turn on this functionality for your activities.
