Open Data and Embeds

The Global Tension Index is an analytical indicator based on news flow, not a prediction. You may use it under the licence below.

Daily index history

One row per day: date, index, level, methodology version, source (live or reconstructed from GDELT) and the component scores (structural, 72-hour flow, 14-day flow). Missing days are left out, never filled in. The files are regenerated daily after 00:20 UTC. They contain index values only: no article titles, summaries or links, which belong to their publishers.
