Data and feeds

Every machine-readable output the site publishes, gathered in one place. All of it is generated at build time from the same records the pages read; nothing here is a separate database. Data through 2026-09-13 (13 September 2026). Licence: CC BY 4.0 for World Freight Monitor's own records; upstream sources keep their own terms, listed on Sources and terms.

events.jsonEvery published event, with its full measured effect history
events.rssOne item per published event

/situations/The page itself, day counters and latest levels against the pre-event baseline

Series and comparisons

compare.jsonLast 120 days of daily transits or port calls, one array per chokepoint and top-100 port, feeding the compare tool
watch.jsonA descriptive summary (last 28 vs prior 28 days) and recent events for every port, chokepoint and lane, feeding the browser-only watchlist
map-chokepoints.json / map-lanes.jsonGeoJSON for the interactive map
/exposure/Oil and LNG carried through each chokepoint, from one public EIA table
compare-events.jsonEvery event's lead measured effect and recovery time, feeding the event comparison tool

Full-history daily series (beyond the 120 days above) are not offered as a bulk download. IMF PortWatch's terms allow publication with attribution but ask for permission for commercial reuse and automated bulk download, and the IMF has not yet answered; see Sources and terms. A single event's own window and baseline are in that event's row in events.json.
