In a bid to make food security analysis data from West Africa and the Sahel more accessible to a wide range of users, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has collaborated with the Cadre Harmonise (CH) partners to integrate CH data into a common 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 CH-IPC API offers acute food insecurity data from more than 45 countries facing food crises.

Afin de rendre les données d’analyse sur la sécurité alimentaire de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Sahel plus accessibles à un large éventail d’utilisateurs, le IPC a collaboré avec les partenaires du CH pour intégrer les données de CH dans une interface de programmation d’applications API commune. L’API permet aux applications et aux sites web de recevoir des données en temps réel. Les partenaires peuvent accéder à l’information et l’afficher sous divers formats, y compris des tableaux de population détaillés et des cartes sous deux formats de données géographiques : GeoJSON et Vector Tiles. Les données comprennent des chiffres de classification basés sur les unités d’analyse des pays (c.-à-d. les zones administratives) et des informations géographiques telles que les zones urbaines, les zones recevant une aide alimentaire humanitaire, etc. L’API CH-IPC offre des données sur l’insécurité alimentaire aiguë provenant de plus de 45 pays confrontés à des crises alimentaires.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is proud to announce the launch of the Application Programming Interface (API). Via the API, partners can access IPC Acute Food Insecurity analyses data from the countries of implementation (currently over 30 countries but this will expand). Various formats are available, including detailed population tables and maps in two geographic data formats–GeoJSON and Vector Tiles. The API currently shares IPC Acute Food Insecurity Classification, with Chronic Food Insecurity and Acute Malnutrition to be added in the future. The data include classification figures based upon the country units of analysis; administrative areas, urban areas, IDP camps, areas receiving Humanitarian Food Assistance, and more.

To gain access to the IPC API, kindly fill in the request form:

Request access to the API

After validating the request internally, the IPC will generate an API key for the requestor to access the API endpoint. Developers will also have access to technical documentation, code samples, and best-practices to test and implement the API.
