Request only the peril categories you need through GET or POST and receive results grouped by category. Data points without coverage are omitted, and you are charged only for requested categories that successfully return data.

Global Perils: questions answered

Which perils are included?

Flood, wildfire, earthquake, windstorm, hail, heat, cold, drought, snowfall, lightning, tsunami and tropical cyclone. Request only the categories you need.

Where is it available?

Anywhere in the world. Pass a latitude and longitude and coverage is reported transparently for each requested peril; data points without coverage are omitted.

How much detail do I get?

Hazard values across the relevant return periods rather than a single score. Flood includes fluvial, pluvial and tidal layers, defended and undefended views, combined ratings and average annual loss estimates where available.

How is it priced?

Per peril category that returns data, from your balance: 18p for flood and wildfire, 12p for each other category. Categories without coverage at the location cost nothing. Available on every account, no custom plan needed. See the docs
