Free Travel Safety Data & API
Every number on this site comes from an open dataset you can download. Safety scores for 248 countries — recomputed daily from 30+ public sources — are published as static JSON files on a global CDN.
No API key, no registration, no request limits. All endpoints support cross-origin requests (CORS), so you can fetch them directly from a browser.
Data is regenerated once a day. Current snapshot generated Oct 11, 2026, 12:36 UTC.
Endpoints
| Endpoint | Description | Approx. size |
|---|---|---|
| /scores.json | Full daily dataset: all 248 countries with composite score, the 5 pillar scores including every underlying indicator, government advisory levels, and source metadata. | ~1.4 MB |
| /map-data.json | Slim per-country dataset: ISO3 code, localized names, composite score, pillar scores, and advisory levels. Ideal for maps and overviews. | ~130 KB |
| /history/{iso3}.json | Daily composite-score history for one country (lowercase ISO3 code), as an array of {date, score} points. | ~5 KB |
| /trend/{iso3}.json | Composite plus per-pillar score history for one country, as {history, pillars}. | ~20 KB |
| /badge/{iso3}.svg | Embeddable SVG badge with the current safety score of a country. | ~2 KB |
| /llms-full.txt | AI-readable Markdown summary of the whole site (llms.txt) and the complete per-country dataset (llms-full.txt). | ~250 KB |
Example
Fetch the full dataset and read the score of a single country:
const res = await fetch('https://isitsafetotravel.org/scores.json');
const { date, globalScore, countries } = await res.json();
const italy = countries.find((c) => c.iso3 === 'ITA');
console.log(italy.score); // composite safety score, 1-10
console.log(italy.confidence); // 0-1, how much data backs the scoreCountry fields in scores.json
Each entry in the countries array contains:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| iso3 | ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code (e.g. "ITA"). |
| name | Country name localized in the supported languages. |
| score | Composite safety score, 1–10 scale (10 = safest). Uncertainty-weighted (Bayesian shrinkage) geometric mean of the 5 pillars. |
| scoreDisplay | Score rounded for display. |
| confidence | Precision-weighted data-density score, 0–1 (higher = more and fresher underlying data). Low confidence means the score sits closer to a conservative regional prior than to hard local evidence. |
| pillars | The 5 risk pillars (conflict, crime, health, governance, environment) with score, weight, and underlying indicators. Crime blends the Global Peace Index's Safety & Security domain with the World Bank's intentional-homicide rate (population-reliability scaled); Conflict blends GPI with a calibrated advisory consensus and UCDP conflict-death counts; rule of law lives under Governance. |
| advisories | Government travel advisory levels per issuing country (25+ governments today, e.g. US, UK, CA, AU). |
| sources | The public data sources used for this country, with fetch dates. |
