What Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (A… offers
2 sourcesGlobal event-level living dataset of reported political violence, demonstrations (including protests and riots), and selected strategic developments. Available through an authenticated API in JSON, CSV, and XML and through account-gated export/download surfaces, with arbitrary country, administrative-area, location, date, taxonomy, actor, and other filters. Event rows are revised as better information appears; row timestamp, response update metadata, and a coordinated deleted-event endpoint support refreshes, but ACLED no longer publishes formal dataset versions after Version 8. This Source excludes CAST forecasts, Trends risk intelligence, alerts, Explorer summaries, and other modeled products. It is not a verified property-loss record: property effects are explicit only where the taxonomy or notes report them.
Licensed country-level prediction product forecasting political-violence event counts for six upcoming rolling four-week periods worldwide, with observed past-period counts in a coordinated restricted results file. The aggregate is not a separable civil-disturbance forecast.
