Interpol Red Notices

Verified Jul 2026

Interpol's own public Notices API for Red, Yellow, and UN notices — wanted- and missing-persons records shared with member countries, searchable by name, nationality, and age range. The real API is hosted by Interpol itself at ws-public.interpol.int with no API key or signup required, but there's no official Interpol developer portal; it's documented interactively via bund.dev's community-maintained OpenAPI wrapper (interpol.api.bund.dev), which is what this listing points at. Plain command-line calls hit an Akamai bot-detection block, but Interpol's own search page at interpol.int calls the same host from a real browser and gets a 200 back with `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`; a cross-origin `fetch()` from an unrelated origin confirmed the same open access, so the block is scoped to non-browser clients and CORS is supported.
