Open data
Every dataset behind TradeTurbulence's pages as CSV or JSON: the Stress Index, chokepoint traffic, indicators, US tariffs by country and commodity prices, each with its source and licence.
Using it
The files update when the pages do, at the same addresses, so a script or spreadsheet that reads them stays current. TradeTurbulence's own figures are free to use, commercially included, under CC BY 4.0: credit “TradeTurbulence” with a link to the page the figure comes from. Figures built from other publishers' data carry those publishers' terms as well, shown against each file. How to cite, and figures ready to quote: the press page.
