Feeds

 
Feeds allow you to create feeds to show data on your personal website:
Select the data source.  The Select Data to Display lists the available columns.  Check the ones to show.  Display Order allows setting the column order.  Column order is left to right, the lower the number the further left that column will be.
It is also possible to filter the data and set the desired sort order.
Click the Create Link button to create a link.  A unique web address will be generated showing the desired data in XML and HTML format.  XML data will need to be processed by your website, but will allow greatest flexibility of display and format.  HTML tables can be shown more easily, but offer little flexibility in display and formatting.
  • HTML is the easiest option but allows little flexibility in display. The link will show the desired data in a simply formatted and responsive table. The easiest way (requiring minimal technical knowledge) to show this on your website is by using an iframe. There are other options of using scripting to read data from the link.
  • XML provides the greatest flexibility, but also requires technical knowledge.
 
Having created your link it is not possible to edit the feed. If you need to change the data shown simply create a new feed.
 Important 
By creating a feed and displaying it on your website you confirm that under GDPR you have authority to publish personal data.
The maximum number of records returned is limited to the first 500.
The use of this service is subject to an acceptable use policy. Feeds that create an excessive demand on resources may be removed without notice.
 
As an alternative to feeds there is also an API that exposes data for use in external applications.  This provides access to greater volumes of data, but also requires advanced technical knowledge.
