How to read this page
Connected means data reaches a current product surface. It does not mean the source covers every country or is cleared for a future paid plan. 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. 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 indicators across growth, jobs, prices, poverty, assistance, health, education, infrastructure, trade, resources, energy and environment.
UPDATE REALITY: Series-dependent; protected country collection checks every six hours.
RIGHTS: Open-dataset terms and attribution are recorded; raw bulk resale is not offered.
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 ↗Connected, but incomplete
Part of the source is in use, while important datasets, geography or commercial rights are still missing.
COVERS: Headline inflation and strategic shipping-flow observations; broader debt, fiscal, reserves and outlook series are not normalized yet.
UPDATE REALITY: Monthly economics and weekly shipping releases.
RIGHTS: Dataset-level commercial display and caching review remains required before paid use.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Recent world reporting across security, economies, health, climate, technology, movement, resources and culture, with original source, publication time, language and country metadata.
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 retain link-only receipts. World News API storage, caching and paid-use rights require written provider approval before commercial activation.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Current aircraft positions, callsigns, altitude, speed, course, registration and aircraft type where receivers and source rights permit.
UPDATE REALITY: The public regional window refreshes every 15 seconds; protected snapshots rotate broader regions.
RIGHTS: Current public sources are prototype-only for commercial use. A written business aircraft-data agreement is required before paid launch.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Live and recent vessel positions, reported destinations and ETAs inside Norwegian coverage.
UPDATE REALITY: Live regional AIS when approved credentials are configured; aggregate IMF PortWatch route flows remain the global fallback.
RIGHTS: NLOD commercial reuse is available with required attribution; traffic and service expectations still need provider coordination.
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.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Country and entity identities, cities, languages, currencies, organizations, infrastructure and map geography.
UPDATE REALITY: Continuously edited; production snapshots should be versioned.
RIGHTS: Wikidata CC0 and OpenStreetMap ODbL obligations remain distinct; map attribution is shown.
Open official source ↗Next official connectors
These belong in the open-data foundation, but they are not allowed to appear as connected until normalization, freshness and license checks pass.
COVERS: Employment, unemployment, youth employment, participation, informal work, hours, wages, labor income and gender gaps.
UPDATE REALITY: Monthly to annual by series and country.
RIGHTS: Bulk/API terms, attribution and commercial display review must be stored per dataset.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Mortality, disease burden, spending, workforce, vaccination, maternal and infant health and health inequality.
UPDATE REALITY: Daily monitoring to annual structural releases, depending on indicator.
RIGHTS: Indicator-level terms and attribution require review; endpoint-version monitoring is mandatory during the GHO transition.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Crop yields, livestock, forestry, fisheries, food prices, fertilizer, land, trade dependency, hunger and food balances.
UPDATE REALITY: Monthly to annual by domain.
RIGHTS: Attribution and domain-level terms will be stored with each dataset and snapshot.
Open official source ↗COVERS: High-income labor, prices, productivity, households, taxation, education, health and public finance.
UPDATE REALITY: Monthly to annual by dataset.
RIGHTS: API terms, attribution and redistribution scope require dataset-level review.
Open official source ↗COVERS: European prices, labor, production, trade, population, housing, energy, transport and regional statistics.
UPDATE REALITY: Near-real-time releases to annual tables.
RIGHTS: Reuse and attribution rules must be captured per table and release.
Open official source ↗COVERS: ERA5 weather history plus Sentinel imagery for heat, drought, floods, crops, wildfire damage, water, ports, mining and urban change.
UPDATE REALITY: Hourly climate reanalysis to multi-day satellite revisits.
RIGHTS: Attribution, processing provenance and downstream product terms must be recorded before public derived layers launch.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Multilingual event metadata, locations, actors, themes and tone across global media.
UPDATE REALITY: Approximately 15-minute event updates.
RIGHTS: GDELT permits commercial use and redistribution of its datasets with attribution. That does not grant rights to republish linked publishers' full articles.
Open official source ↗COVERS: National research output, AI and medical research, universities, collaboration, citation momentum and knowledge networks.
UPDATE REALITY: Daily API and snapshot updates.
RIGHTS: CC0 metadata can support derived research; source links and snapshot version remain visible.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Energy mix, emissions, climate, population, health, poverty, food, technology and science indicators.
UPDATE REALITY: Dataset-dependent; chart exports and metadata can update daily to annually.
RIGHTS: Every indicator needs an allowlist decision because many OWID charts retain the original provider's license rather than one universal data license.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Earlier and more detailed country releases for jobs, wages, prices, budgets, elections, energy, health, tourism, customs and markets.
UPDATE REALITY: Release-calendar driven.
RIGHTS: Each producer gets its own terms, attribution, caching and redistribution decision; public visibility is not assumed to grant reuse.
Open official source ↗Permission or contract required
A public API, visible website or free key does not automatically permit commercial redistribution.
COVERS: Detailed bilateral merchandise trade by product and reporting country.
UPDATE REALITY: Monthly to annual reporting.
RIGHTS: Automated download, redistribution and commercial exploitation require a documented permission decision; a free key is not treated as commercial clearance.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Conflict, protest, political violence and event-level actors, dates and locations.
UPDATE REALITY: Near real time to weekly, product and license dependent.
RIGHTS: Commercial products require an ACLED corporate license, and raw redistribution or AI use must stay inside the agreed terms.
Open official source ↗COVERS: Exchange display rights, global vessel voyages, higher-quality aircraft positions, private companies and high-resolution satellite tasking.
UPDATE REALITY: Live to daily, contract-dependent.
RIGHTS: A written commercial contract, redistribution scope, service levels and capacity plan are required before a paid 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.
