The first step to export data is to choose a file format by clicking the caret next to the Download button. The menu that appears will give topic-specific options that might include flat and time series CSV, HTML, JSON, GeoJSON, TopoJSON, and XML formats.
To request access to data in a file format not listed, complete the FDE User Feedback form.
You can open the Usage Requirements drawer to see information on the source document and usage requirement for the selected data.
You can then export data from any topic in the FDE in one of two ways:
-
Download: You can download a static dataset directly to your device.
-
API Link: Refreshable links connect directly to the FEWS NET Data Warehouse database server, allowing Excel, your browser, or another application to automatically fetch the most recent data from the server whenever the links are accessed. The refreshable link can also be edited and used for calling the FEWS NET Data Warehouse API.
