Use the static data carefully.

PainMap data is public and read-only, but it is not a universal moral scoreboard. Keep provenance, uncertainty, and method fields attached to every value you reuse.

Quickstart

Fetch the contract

curl https://painmap.org/data/openapi.json
curl https://painmap.org/data/place-measurements.json
curl https://painmap.org/data/provenance-registry.json

The API has no authentication and no write side. Use normal HTTP caching and treat the build id as the stable contract version for this release.

must keep

Provenance

Carry source, source vintage, method class, uncertainty class, and license id with every copied value.

must not

Overclaim

Country and ADM1 rows are directional proxies unless the method class says direct or modeled.

Headers

The repository includes a static-host header policy and a Vercel header config for CSP, referrer policy, nosniff, and permissions policy.
