Flood API

Floods & Much More, All in One Place

Multiple data streams in just one API

Mankind needs water to survive, yet the irony of a devastating flood isn’t lost on anyone. And while you might not be able to do much to prevent a flood, you can directly influence how you deal with the aftermath.

PredictHQ helps your business stay afloat before, during and after major local, national and global events. We collect, aggregate and maintain thousands of unique pieces of global scheduled and unscheduled event data including flood warnings into one handy API, so your business will always be one step ahead of Mother Nature. We don’t just give you a list of events; we also help you decide which ones are most likely to impact your business somehow, and which ones need to be paid attention to immediately - because when it comes to natural disasters like floods, time is of the essence. Store your own local copy of events, so you can use them for data modeling and analysis, or enriching your own dataset to produce and sell derivative works.

Ranked Floods

Not sure what events matter most? Don’t worry - we’ve sorted them for you

A flood can drain away as quickly as it appears, so flood notifications can be very handy when it comes to business. PredictHQ’s RESTful API lets you discover major events in a huge range of categories that have the power to impact your business’ bottom line. Our unique ranking algorithm assigns a numerical rank to every single event we give you, so you can filter from major to minor events and see at a glance what natural disasters like floods your business should pay careful attention to.

Making Flat Event Data Intelligent

Because floods need to be handled carefully

You can’t prevent Mother Nature from unleashing her fury, but you can dictate how you respond to her. PredictHQ gives your business flood alerts so you can be as prepared as possible. And the best bit? We do the hard yards for you. PredictHQ pulls multiple data streams and third party APIs across more than 18 categories (and counting) into one smart information source so all the events that could impact your business are just a few clicks away. Leave the data-gathering up to us while you build your own integrations, data models, algorithms and forecasting tools. Our API communicates with any platform, and our intelligent weighted algorithm associates event attributes and variables to every piece of information we store to help figure out how important they are. Lookup events and get JSON responses. Integrate our data with any platform - and to make integrations even easier PredictHQ currently has Python and JavaScript SDKs available. We use the OAuth 2.0 standard for authentication, and access tokens are required to grant application access to the tools available on the API. Developers won’t need to spend precious time capturing, cleaning and maintaining disparate data sources. Plus, our API is versioned for easier maintenance. Looking for some specific data? Search for major events using airport IATA codes, a geographical radius, or multiple locations and categories at the same time.
