CivAPI Documentation

Use the CivAPI to access conflict data, population insights, humanitarian funding, and local infrastructure (POIs) across countries. Seamlessly integrate real-time, geo-based data into your applications using a simple, secure, and scalable API.

Quickstart

Getting started

To get started, visit your CivAPI Dashboard to access your API key. Then, explore how to make requests to fetch conflict data, population statistics, funding insights, or local infrastructure using our API. All requests are authenticated using the x-api-key header. Once your integration is live, you can use CivAPI in any application, dashboard, or data pipeline.
