How to read this page
Connected means data reaches a current product surface. It does not mean the source covers every country or permits every form of public reuse. Next means the source is valuable but not yet part of public answers. Restricted means the product fails closed until permission or a contract exists.
The machine-readable catalog is available at /api/v1/data-sources. The expanded operational register at /api/v1/sources/status exposes cadence, stale thresholds, fallbacks, parser state, rights posture and the active publication receipt. Commercial rights remain separately controlled in the source-rights register.
Connected and serving
These sources currently contribute to a public WorldPredicta surface through a bounded collector or map layer.
COVERS: 25 comparable country-profile indicators plus a separately labeled structural net-migration balance across growth, jobs, prices, poverty, assistance, health, education, infrastructure, trade, resources, energy, environment and people movement.
UPDATE REALITY: Series-dependent; protected country collection checks every six hours.

UPDATE REALITY: Weekday publication; protected collection checks every six hours.
RIGHTS: U.S. federal public information; linked third-party material remains separate.

DELIVERY FIT: Edge scheduled
Open official source ↗COVERS: Earthquakes, storms, wildfires, volcanoes, floods and higher-severity disaster alerts.
UPDATE REALITY: Minute-level to hourly source observations; regions rotate through protected snapshots.
RIGHTS: Attribution and feed-specific controls are retained; event presence is not republished as verified damage.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Current U.S. airport ground stops, ground-delay programs, closures, arrival and departure delay notices, causes, time windows and runway configurations.
UPDATE REALITY: Server-side collection is cached for 30 seconds and uses the source observation timestamps.
RIGHTS: Official U.S. Government airport-status information is used as attributed, bounded facts. Airline-specific status is not inferred, raw redistribution is not offered, and paid-use review remains separate.
ACCESS: Open
DELIVERY FIT: Edge scheduled
Open official source ↗COVERS: Worldwide terminal weather observations and forecasts through bounded METAR and TAF lookups.
UPDATE REALITY: One cached lookup per airport per minute; source rate limit is respected and source timestamps remain visible.
RIGHTS: Official U.S. Government weather data is displayed with NOAA/NWS attribution and original receipts. Weather is never treated as a confirmed flight-delay cause without a separate official operational receipt.
ACCESS: Open
DELIVERY FIT: Edge scheduled
Open official source ↗COVERS: Geocoded organized-violence events with actors, event dates, violence type and fatality estimates for global conflict research.
UPDATE REALITY: Monthly candidate releases with no more than about one month of lag; final annual GED releases remain separate.

ACCESS: Open
DELIVERY FIT: Offline batch
Open official source ↗Connected, but incomplete
Part of the source is in use, while important datasets, geography or commercial rights are still missing.
COVERS: Connected Texas daily filed/passed-bill feeds, Pennsylvania House/Senate roll calls and the Kansas bill inventory, plus a clearly unverified Iowa feed registration.
UPDATE REALITY: Source-specific daily or session updates.
RIGHTS: Official factual metadata only; source-specific reuse review and attribution remain attached.
ACCESS: Mixed / per-source
DELIVERY FIT: Edge scheduled
Open official source ↗COVERS: Headline inflation and strategic shipping-flow observations; broader debt, fiscal, reserves and outlook series are not normalized yet.

Open official source ↗COVERS: Recent world reporting across security, economies, health, climate, technology, movement, resources, policy and culture, with original source, publication time, language, country metadata and source-role labels. The direct network now includes Global Voices in eight languages, 360info and Mongabay alongside public broadcasters, official institutions and regional newsrooms.
UPDATE REALITY: Protected hourly collection; the breaking monitor checks explicit impact language and distinct-publication corroboration without calling publishers on page requests.
RIGHTS: Direct feeds and GDELT DOC retain link-only receipts with attribution; linked publisher rights remain separate. World News API is available only as a manual request-time lane with no application cache or durable retention. Any storage, caching or durable derived use still requires written provider approval.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Current aircraft positions, callsigns, altitude, speed, course, registration and aircraft type where receivers and source rights permit.
UPDATE REALITY: Licensed reads are checked every 15 seconds; PocketWorld and anonymous OpenSky use 30- and 60-second shared backoffs; protected snapshots rotate broader regions.

Open official source ↗COVERS: Cross-language curiosity, technology discussion and public attention signals; not representative public opinion.
UPDATE REALITY: Protected hourly collection over source observations ranging from near real time to daily.
RIGHTS: Platform-specific attribution, deletion, retention and commercial-use terms remain separate. Reddit requires approved API credentials and commercial permission.

UPDATE REALITY: Protected newsroom collection queries a bounded 24-hour article-list window; GDELT updates its index continuously.
RIGHTS: GDELT permits commercial use and redistribution of its datasets with attribution. Linked publisher material keeps its own rights, so this connector stores link metadata only and does not republish article bodies or translations.
ACCESS: Open
DELIVERY FIT: Edge scheduled
Open official source ↗COVERS: Official active and cancelled maritime-security advisories with named regions, effective dates and expiry dates, including the Strait of Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, Red Sea and Black Sea.
UPDATE REALITY: Every protected operations collection; public advisory labels are withheld after a six-hour source-age ceiling.

RIGHTS: A written commercial contract, public-display scope, service levels and capacity plan are required before a production feature can use the feed.
Open official source ↗Why a country can still be missing an answer
One country may publish inflation monthly, unemployment quarterly and health outcomes annually. WorldPredicta keeps those clocks separate. It does not label annual GDP “live,” does not turn a stale value into a current grade, and does not answer a specific health, mineral or political question with an adjacent economic paragraph.
