1. Get an API key
PRO subscribers get an API key from worldmonitor.app/pro. User-issued keys are exactly wm_ followed by 40 lowercase hex characters.
The dashboard browser session can call supported public endpoints without a user API key. You need a key for server-to-server use, untrusted browser origins, and routes that explicitly require an API key.
2. Call an endpoint
curl
curl -s 'https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/conflict/v1/list-conflict-events?limit=5' \
-H 'X-WorldMonitor-Key: wm_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567'
JavaScript (Node or browser)
const res = await fetch(
'https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/market/v1/get-quotes?symbols=AAPL,TSLA',
{ headers: { 'X-WorldMonitor-Key': process.env.WM_KEY } }
);
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);
Python
import os, httpx
r = httpx.get(
"https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/economic/v1/get-fred-series",
params={"series_id": "FEDFUNDS"},
headers={"X-WorldMonitor-Key": os.environ["WM_KEY"]},
)
r.raise_for_status()
print(r.json())
3. Hydrate everything at once
For dashboards, use /api/bootstrap to pull all seeded caches in one request:
curl -s 'https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/bootstrap' \
-H 'X-WorldMonitor-Key: wm_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567'
4. Plug into an MCP client
Point any MCP-compatible client at the server URL — the client handles OAuth automatically:
https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/mcp
