The IPC Launches API to Bolster Data Access

In a bid to make food security data more accessible, Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has launched an Application Programming Interface (API). The API allows applications and websites to receive data in real-time. Partners can access and display information in various formats, including detailed population tables, and maps in two geographic data formats–GeoJSON and Vector Tiles. The data include classification figures based upon the country units of analysis (i.e. administrative areas) and geographical information such as urban areas, areas receiving Humanitarian Food Assistance, and more. The IPC API offers acute food insecurity data from 2017 onwards from more than 30 countries facing food crises. How the API Works The IPC API is an intermediary between an application and a web server. It processes data transfer between systems. If you want access to the IPC API, here’s how it works: First, a partner initiates a request to the IPC via our simple online form. After validating the request internally, the IPC will share the API key with the requestor to access the API endpoint. The server will then send a response to the API with the requested information, and then the API transfers the data to the application making the request.
