School Distance filtering enhancements now live in SPACE
Date:
We’ve deployed an enhancement to SPACE that improves how school proximity data can be queried and filtered across both the user interface and the API.
Using the SPACE UI: Within the SPACE interface, users can now refine school distance results based on when the data was last updated. This allows users to focus on the most recently changed school proximity records when reviewing or validating data, without needing to reprocess the full dataset each time, by using the “Changed since” option within the Proximity filter.
Using the SPACE API: For API users, the same enhancement enables query?level filtering on the school distance UpdateDateTime field. This allows integrations and downstream systems to request only school distance records that have been updated since a given point in time, supporting incremental refreshes and more efficient data synchronisation. Users can use the new distance_changed_date parameter to restrict results.
By supporting this filtering in both the UI and API, this change improves consistency across SPACE access methods, helping users identify recent school proximity changes more easily while also reducing unnecessary data processing.
