UCDP Conflict Data API

The global georeferenced event series covers organized violence from 1989, while the UCDP/PRIO armed-conflict and dyadic yearly series begin in 1946. Final datasets are versioned annually; Candidate event data is released monthly with no more than one month's lag globally. The API allows 5,000 requests per day, errors included, and requires paging.
