aid: itu url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/itu/refs/heads/main/apis.yml name: ITU kind: company description: >- The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies, headquartered in Geneva and made up of 194 Member States plus roughly 1,000 sector members. It sits at the top of the global telecom value chain rather than inside it: ITU-R allocates the global radio spectrum and manages the master international frequency register and satellite filings, ITU-T publishes the Recommendations that define interoperable telecom networks, and ITU-D collects and publishes the world's reference ICT statistics. Its market is Global by treaty. Its API posture is genuinely open but entirely undeclared: ITU operates real, anonymously callable HTTP APIs behind the DataHub statistics portal and behind an ITU-D "Proximity to Fibre Node" demonstration built on the ITU Broadband Maps, and neither requires a key, a login, or a partner agreement — but there is no developer portal, no api.itu.int, no published OpenAPI, no SDK, no terms of programmatic use, and the official ITU GitHub organization has zero public repositories. ITU is not a CAMARA participant and not a GSMA Open Gateway operator; network APIs are being standardised outside the UN system, and ITU's role in that layer is limited to the IMT requirements framework rather than any callable interface. image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Telecommunications - Global - Regulator - Standards - Spectrum - Satellite - Broadband - ICT Statistics - Open Data - United Nations created: '2026-07-25' modified: '2026-07-26' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: itu:itu-datahub-api name: ITU DataHub API description: >- The undocumented JSON API that serves the ITU DataHub (datahub.itu.int), ITU's official ICT statistics portal and the successor to ICT Eye. Confirmed anonymously callable on 2026-07-25 with no key, header, or referer required — /v2/country/all returns the full country reference list, /v2/region/all the ITU/BDT and UN M49 groupings, /v2/dictionaries/getcategories the full indicator dictionary, /v2/data/bycode/{codeID} the time series for an indicator, and /v2/idi/* and /v2/umc/* the ICT Development Index and Universal Meaningful Connectivity dashboards. ITU publishes no documentation, no OpenAPI, and no terms of programmatic use for this surface; the endpoint list was recovered from the DataHub client bundle, so it should be treated as an internal backend that happens to be public rather than as a supported product API. humanURL: https://datahub.itu.int/ baseURL: https://api.datahub.itu.int/v2 tags: - ICT Statistics - Open Data - Indicators - Connectivity - Regulator properties: - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/itu-datahub-openapi.yml - type: Overlay url: overlays/itu-datahub-overlay.yaml - type: Documentation url: https://datahub.itu.int/ - type: APIReference url: https://datahub.itu.int/data - type: Documentation url: https://www.itu.int/itu-d/reports/statistics/ - aid: itu:itu-proximity-to-fibre-node-api name: ITU Proximity to Fibre Node API description: >- An ITU-D Technology and Network Development API that scores a batch of coordinates against the ITU Interactive Transmission Map (Broadband Maps) fibre network data. Two routes are published on the ITU-D demonstration page — route-calcdistancetonode returns the proximity band to the nearest fibre node, and route-calc10kmintersection returns a within-10km flag. Both accept a POSTed text/csv body with X and Y columns and return a URL to a generated ZIP of results; both were confirmed returning HTTP 200 with real output on 2026-07-25. Access is by an Azure Functions function key passed as a ?code= query parameter that ITU embeds in the public web client, so it is effectively open; there is no signup, no OpenAPI, and no rate limit published. humanURL: https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Technology/Pages/EmergingTechnologiesPages/api.aspx baseURL: https://bbmaps.itu.int/functionproximity tags: - Broadband - Fibre - Geospatial - Connectivity - Open Data properties: - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/itu-proximity-openapi.yml - type: Overlay url: overlays/itu-proximity-overlay.yaml - type: Documentation url: https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Technology/Pages/EmergingTechnologiesPages/api.aspx - type: APIReference url: https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Technology/Pages/EmergingTechnologiesPages/api.aspx - type: Documentation url: https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Technology/Pages/InteractiveTransmissionMaps.aspx common: - type: AgenticAccess url: agentic-access/itu-agentic-access.yml - type: Authentication url: authentication/itu-authentication.yml - type: DomainSecurity url: security/itu-domain-security.yml - type: Conventions url: conventions/itu-conventions.yml - type: ErrorCatalog url: errors/itu-problem-types.yml - type: Lifecycle url: lifecycle/itu-lifecycle.yml - type: Conformance url: conformance/itu-conformance.yml - type: DataModel url: data-model/itu-data-model.yml - type: Examples url: examples/_index.yml - type: MCPServer url: mcp/itu-mcp.yml - type: ToolCrosswalk url: mcp/itu-tool-crosswalk.yml - type: AgentSkill url: skills/_index.yml - type: LLMsTxt url: llms/itu-llms.txt - type: LLMsTxt url: https://bbmaps.itu.int/llms.txt - type: Website url: https://www.itu.int/ - type: Documentation url: https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/publications/Pages/recs.aspx - type: GitHubOrganization url: https://github.com/ITUINT - type: LinkedIn url: https://www.linkedin.com/company/itu - type: Blog url: https://www.itu.int/hub/ - type: Support url: https://www.itu.int/home/contact/index.html - type: TermsOfService url: https://www.itu.int/en/about/Pages/terms-of-use.aspx - type: PrivacyPolicy url: https://www.itu.int/en/about/Pages/privacy-notice.aspx maintainers: - FN: Kin Lane email: kin@apievangelist.com
