Excerpt from email to show the problem we are trying to solve in response to an email from a user:

Here's a quick list of the UK datasets and the dates they cover:

http://openspending.org/uk-barnet-budget/time (2009)

http://openspending.org/ukgov-finances-cra/time (2004 - 2010)
http://openspending.org/ukgov-local-council/time (Nov 2005 - Dec 2011)
http://openspending.org/ukgov-25k-spending/time (Jun 2000 - Dec 2011)

I needed to call the API to get some of this information, we definitely need a more user-friendly access.. :)
