Introducing the UCDP Candidate Events Dataset. Research & Politics

We are using a web mercator projection using a grid size being optimized for geographic visualization. Each grid cell has a count attribute representing the number of armed conflict events of the corresponding grid cell.

This API aggregates locations where some armed conflict took place using geospatial intelligence operations. The geospatial results support the GeoJSON and Esri Features format out of the box.
