Answers "who won in X and by how much?", including by-elections. Needs a constituency id (get one from constituency_search). Covers Westminster elections only, not local, mayoral or devolved elections. (cost: 1 credit)
constituency_search
Find a UK parliamentary constituency by part of its name and get its id and current MP, from the UK Parliament Members API. This is the lookup step for the election result tools. It searches constituency names only; to go from a postcode to an MP use mp_lookup. (cost: 1 credit)

An MP's or peer's career in Parliament: seats held, party changes, ministerial and shadow posts, other posts and select committee memberships, each with start and end dates, from the UK Parliament Members API. Answers "was X ever a minister?" or "what committees has X sat on?" for journalists, researchers and public affairs. Covers parliamentary roles only, not careers outside Parliament. (cost: 1 credit)
member_registered_interests
An MP's or peer's declared financial interests by category: outside jobs and earnings, donations, gifts and hospitality, overseas visits, shareholdings and more, with payment details and registration dates, from the UK Parliament Members API. Answers "who pays or funds my MP?" for constituents, journalists and due diligence. Shows what members declared, unverified; ministers' interests published by the Cabinet Office are not included. (cost: 1 credit)

cabinet_ministers
Who holds each UK Cabinet and Cabinet-level post right now, Prime Minister first: the post, department, minister, party, seat and start date, from the UK Parliament Members API. A live answer for "who is the current Chancellor / Health Secretary?" after reshuffles. Optional q filters by post, department or name. Cabinet and Cabinet-level posts only (about 28: Prime Minister, Chancellor, Secretaries of State, Chief Whip, Leaders of both Houses, Attorney General and a few others); junior ministers, most Ministers of State and Parliamentary Under-Secretaries are not covered. (cost: 1 credit)

How many seats each party holds in the House of Commons on a given date, with totals and the number of women MPs, from the UK Parliament Members API state of the parties. Answers "how many MPs does each party have?" after defections and by-elections. Shows the largest party's margin as simple arithmetic; it does not compute the official working majority. (cost: 1 credit)
contact

Official contact details for an MP or peer: parliamentary and constituency office addresses, phone numbers, email, website and listed social media, as published by the UK Parliament Members API. Answers "how do I contact my MP?" for letter writers and constituents with casework. Needs a member id (from mp_lookup or constituency_search); former members usually have no details listed. (cost: 1 credit)
