The problem you know too well

Government travel data is public information trapped behind terrible websites.

Six government data sources, six different formats, six cron jobs to maintain. The State Department wraps HTML inside XML. The WHO publishes PDFs. Freedom House ships Excel files once a year. You spend more time keeping scrapers alive than building features. The enterprise alternative starts at $10K/year and requires a sales call before you see pricing.

Six data sources converging into a single structured API response

DATA AGGREGATION

Six sources. One request. Zero maintenance.

State Department advisories, WHO health alerts, World Bank indicators, Freedom House scores, global safety indices, and climate risk data. All normalized into consistent JSON fields with ISO timestamps. Your integration code stays the same even when upstream sources change their format.

Clean API documentation with typed response examples

DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE

Documentation you read once. Schemas that never surprise you.

Every endpoint returns the same field structure for all 195 countries. TypeScript types included. No pagination gotchas, no undocumented rate limits, no responses that change shape depending on which country you query.

RATE LIMITS THAT MAKE SENSE

Clear headers, predictable limits, no 2 AM surprises.

X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset on every response. Hit your cap? A clean 429 with your current usage and a Retry-After header. No silent failures, no undocumented walls.

What you actually get

One request. Six data sources. Structured JSON you can easily parse.

Request
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  https://api.traveladvisory.io/v1/advisory/CO

Six government and institutional data sources, normalized into one response. No scraping. No cron jobs. No HTML-inside-XML parsing.

Built for developers who ship

What you get when the data just works.

Replace six cron jobs with one call

State Department, WHO, World Bank, Freedom House, safety indices, and climate risk. Combined, normalized, and scored in a single request.

Parse JSON, not HTML inside XML

Typed fields, consistent schemas, and ISO 8601 timestamps. Your parser deserves better than regex on government HTML.

Response times your users will notice

Average response in 147ms. Cold starts under 200ms. We cache aggressively and refresh every 6 hours so your app always serves current data.

Full coverage, not footnotes

Every ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. 195 countries with complete data profiles. No asterisks, no partial coverage.

Always-current data without your maintenance

Data from all sources refreshed every 6 hours. You always get the latest advisory levels, health alerts, and economic indicators without running a single cron job.

Predictable rate limits, not 2 AM surprises

Standard REST conventions. X-RateLimit headers on every response. Clear documentation, not undocumented walls.

Three steps. That is the whole integration.
