Free Company Data Product - can I get previous months downloads?

Is it possible to get previous months downloads? Also, a question for users of this product; how reliable has the data been in the past? Have you experienced any issues with it? I’m looking to base a product on this download and would just like to have an idea of reliability. Also, on the Free Company Data Product page it says it’s unsupported, what exactly does that mean? Is this product likely to be offered into the future?

Any answers would be very much appreciated.

Regards

Richard

Sorry, but previous months downloads are not available.
There are no plans to withdraw the product.
Unsupported simply means that we cannot assist you or offer advice with regards to your technical solution to process the data. e.g. if your ‘Python’ code does not work, we cannot help you.
Hope this helps.

Presumably the original question was asking about the files here Companies House

Is it still the case that no previous months are available?

If that is so, do I need to access past records via an API?

Thank you
Chris

Yes, no previous months are available.
This product contains all active/live and recently dissolved companies.
The only companies it does not contain are dissolved companies.
