Your current email compose page url looks like this: https://www.writetothem.com/write?who=92851&pc=SW17+0AA

I'd like to create a link directly to this page from my website, but I'd need to have a lookup of the MPs and your corresponding MP ID. I've tried using your MP ID on the https://members-api.parliament.uk/ API but your IDs don't work here.

Is this list of MPS / MP ID exposed somewhere?

We do not wish to enable direct linking to the compose page, it is not supported. To link to WriteToThem, please use one of the options given at https://www.writetothem.com/about-linktous . For MPs alone, for example, you could use the information at https://www.writetothem.com/about-linktous#types
