Lowy Asia Power Index
Rankings of state power across Asia, as JSON
The Lowy Institute's Asia Power Index scores and ranks countries on their comprehensive power across the region, and these endpoints surface the underlying data as JSON. Fetch /data/{year}.json (2018 onward) for per-country scores, ranks and year-on-year trends. The data is the Lowy Institute's own research, exposed here through a community-written API guide.
