About War-Tracker

War-Tracker is a real-time, public OSINT war tracker. We extract conflict events (strikes, naval engagements, recruitment campaigns, force movements) from public social media posts, classify them with a small-language-model pipeline, and surface each event on a stable per-event URL with a full JSON-LD NewsArticle + Event + VideoObject graph.

The site is editorially independent. It does not host paid content. The full methodology is at /methodology; the public JSON API documenting every available field is at /api/v1/openapi.json.

Coverage

Coverage is global, with deeper sampling in the Russo-Ukrainian War, the 2023+ Israel-Gaza war and adjacent escalations (Lebanon, Iran, Houthi attacks in the Red Sea / Strait of Hormuz), the Sahel, Sudan, the Horn of Africa, and the East-Asia / South-China-Sea tension band.

Access & pricing

War-Tracker is free for humans and for the bots that send humans to us: classic search engines (Googlebot, Bingbot), AI-search index crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot), runtime fetchers triggered by a user prompt (ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User), and link-preview bots are never charged. AI training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, CCBot, Bytespider, cohere-ai, Diffbot, Meta-ExternalAgent) are metered: each request to a paid surface (per-event pages, the public events API, llms-full.txt, region/country/event-type hubs) requires a USDC micropayment via the x402 protocol on Base, Polygon, or Avalanche C-Chain through any of four independent facilitators (xpay, Coinbase CDP, PayAI, Dexter). See the rollout post for the facilitator/chain matrix and per-facilitator economics.

Full per-route prices, the wallet address, and the network/facilitator details are published at /pricing (human-readable) and /x402.json (machine-readable). Discovery surfaces — /robots.txt, /llms.txt, /sitemap.xml, /pricing, /x402, /api/v1/openapi.json — remain free for everyone, including training crawlers, so the policy is self-describing.
