Data Distribution

Distribute African data efficiently via APIs, feeds, and integrations.

Multiple distribution channels

Waafrika supports multiple ways to access African data: REST APIs, WebSocket streams, webhooks, batch downloads, and direct database access. Choose the method that fits your use case, whether you need real-time market data or periodic demographic updates.

REST APIs

Comprehensive REST APIs provide access to historical and current African data. Consistent schemas across all endpoints make integration straightforward. Support for filtering, pagination, and field selection lets you fetch exactly what you need. All APIs follow OpenAPI specifications with interactive documentation.

Real-time streaming

WebSocket and Server-Sent Events (SSE) streams deliver live updates for African market data, commodity prices, and event feeds. Low-latency delivery ensures you get updates as they happen across exchanges and markets on the continent.

Webhooks

Configure webhooks to receive notifications when data changes. Ideal for event-driven architectures, webhooks can trigger your systems when new African demographic data is published, market events occur, or commodity prices change significantly.

Batch downloads

Download large datasets in CSV, JSON, Parquet, or other formats. Scheduled exports can be configured to deliver African data on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Perfect for analytics, reporting, and data warehousing use cases.

CDN and edge caching

Frequently accessed African data is cached at edge locations across Africa and globally. This reduces latency and improves performance for users accessing data from anywhere. Cache invalidation ensures you always get fresh data when needed.

Rate limiting and quotas

Configurable rate limits and quotas prevent abuse and ensure fair usage. Different tiers support different volumes, from free tier for development to enterprise plans with high-volume access to African data feeds.

Integration partners

Pre-built integrations with popular analytics platforms, data warehouses, and business intelligence tools. Connect African data directly to your existing stack without custom development.
