ReliefWeb API documentation revamped

Do you want to use real-time ReliefWeb content and data directly in your app or page? We are happy to announce the public release of a new version of the API documentation.

The first version (version 0) of the API was launched in 2014. After some years of increasing use, it evolved to the actual version and now, it is receiving more than half a million requests per day.

With this new update to the API documentation, we hope that now more than ever developers have the tools they need to get the best of the existing humanitarian content and data. We’ll continue to add more features as time goes on and we can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

In this release, there is also a new parameter “appname” in all the request. In order to provide a better service, please, use this parameter with the name of your organization and application.
