Humanitarian Data Exchange
HDX is OCHA's CKAN-based catalog of over 18,000 humanitarian and public-health datasets (disease outbreaks, health-facility locations, population and displacement data) covering 250+ locations, searchable and downloadable through the standard keyless CKAN Action API (package_list, package_show, datastore_search). A live GET against data.humdata.org/api/3/action/status_show succeeds with no key, and a live Origin-header probe returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving the stored 'unknown' to 'yes'.
