Available data in HAPI

See what data is available on HAPI below.

Themes and sub-categories

HAPI organizes indicators into themes, each with sub-categories. You query a sub-category directly through its path, for example coordination-context/operational-presence.

The current themes are:

1. Affected people: Humanitarian needs, refugees and persons of concern, internally displaced persons, and returnees

2. Coordination and context: Conflict events, funding, national risk, and operational presence

3. Food security, nutrition and poverty: Food prices, food security phases, and poverty rate

4. Geography and infrastructure: Baseline population

5. Climate: Rainfall

6. Metadata: Supporting tables such as administrative levels, sectors, organizations, currencies, and resources

For the full and current list of sub-categories and the fields each one returns, see the API reference page or the per-theme data usage guides at hdx-hapi.readthedocs.io.

Coverage

HAPI's initial coverage aligned with the HDX Data Grids, the foundational data on HDX needed to understand a humanitarian context. Because coverage changes as sources are added, the most reliable view is the live availability dashboard, which shows which indicators are available for which locations:

Update frequency

HAPI is refreshed daily from its source datasets on HDX. The update frequency of each source dataset varies from daily to weekly, yearly, or as needed, so the freshness of a given indicator depends on its source. Every row in the data sub-categories includes a resource_hdx_id that links back to the source dataset, where you can check its update schedule and history. The metadata sub-categories are reference tables and do not carry it.

The time period covered also varies by indicator. Conflict events, for example, go back as far as 1997, while operational presence holds only the current year.
