Quickstart

1. Get an API key

API Starter and API Business subscribers create a key from Dashboard → Settings → API Keys. User-issued keys are exactly wm_ followed by 40 lowercase hex characters and are shown only once. Follow Find or replace your license / API key for the exact steps or to replace a lost key.

2. Call an endpoint

curl

curl -s 'https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/conflict/v1/get-humanitarian-summary?country_code=SD' \
  -H 'X-WorldMonitor-Key: wm_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567'

JavaScript (Node or browser)

const res = await fetch(
  'https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/market/v1/list-market-quotes?symbols=AAPL&symbols=TSLA',
  { headers: { 'X-WorldMonitor-Key': process.env.WM_KEY } }
);
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);

Python

import os, httpx

r = httpx.get(
    "https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/economic/v1/get-fred-series",
    params={"series_id": "FEDFUNDS"},
    headers={"X-WorldMonitor-Key": os.environ["WM_KEY"]},
)
r.raise_for_status()
print(r.json())

3. Hydrate everything at once

For dashboards, use /api/bootstrap to pull all seeded caches in one request:

curl -s 'https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/bootstrap' \
  -H 'X-WorldMonitor-Key: wm_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567'

Use the same host and header form for server-to-server calls. /api/bootstrap does not require a separate gateway URL, token exchange, activation step, or IP allow-list.

See Platform endpoints for the response shape.

4. Plug into an MCP client

Point any MCP-compatible client at the server URL — the client handles OAuth automatically:

https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/mcp

See MCP for client-specific setup.
