opportunity data

Opportunity data describes individual bookable physical-activity sessions — timetable, slot times, venue, price, age and gender restrictions, accessibility and booking URL — published as open JSON-LD feeds by UK leisure operators under the OpenActive specification.

In this catalog it appears concretely: - OpenActive Open Opportunity Data — "name; class timetables, facility slots, venue, price, age and gender restrictions, accessibility and booking URLs published as JSON-LD feeds from UK leisure operators". - Sport England Research and Data Hub — "lists OpenActive opportunity data alongside Active Lives and Moving Communities".

Sport England Research and Data Hub is the second reference point worth knowing: "lists OpenActive opportunity data alongside Active Lives and Moving Communities". Reading the two together shows how much variation sits underneath one shared label.

A label on a listing is not a deliverable. Teams that license on the strength of a product-name match routinely find the shipped files cover a narrower slice than they assumed, and backfilling history afterwards costs more than the license ever did.

The failure mode is concrete: a source can carry the opportunity data label while differing from what you need on exactly the dimension that matters — hundreds of thousands of session/facility records across dozens of UK operator feeds; realtime rolling window of upcoming sessions. Comparing two sources on that line usually settles the choice faster than any feature matrix.

You rarely have to take a vendor's word for it. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs are free to access, and OpenActive Open Opportunity Data lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.

Treat every claim of this attribute as testable:

1. Open OpenActive Open Opportunity Data and confirm its record — "name; class timetables, facility slots, venue, price, age and gender restrictions, accessibility and booking URLs published as JSON-LD feeds from UK leisure operators" — against the files you actually receive. 2.
