Hi Jez
You can limit the number of requests to a specific URL (or set of URLs)
by IP address - so polling "every available UPRN" would not be an issue

If the authorities sell it to OS, then should this be raised with The Rt
Hon Alok Sharma MP (he owns 100% of the shares of OS)?
N.B. there are some

custodians of batches of UPRNs would detract from the commercial value
derived by Ordnance Survey (OS). I fully understand that as a limited
