fetch-country-brief

name: fetch-country-brief version: 1 description: Retrieve the current AI-generated strategic intelligence brief for a country, keyed by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.

Use this skill when the user asks for a summary of the current geopolitical, economic, or security situation in a specific country. The endpoint returns a fresh AI-generated brief composed from the latest news, market, conflict, and infrastructure signals World Monitor tracks for that country.

Authentication

Server-to-server callers (agents, scripts, SDKs) MUST present an API key in the X-WorldMonitor-Key header. Authorization: Bearer … is for MCP/OAuth or Clerk JWTs — not raw API keys.

X-WorldMonitor-Key: wm_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567

Browser requests from worldmonitor.app get a free pass via CORS Origin trust, but agents will never hit that path. Issue a key at https://www.worldmonitor.app/pro.

Endpoint

GET https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/intelligence/v1/get-country-intel-brief

Parameters

Name	In	Required	Shape	Notes
`country_code`	query	yes	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, uppercase (e.g. `US`, `IR`, `KE`)	Case-sensitive server-side. Lowercase is rejected with 400.
`framework`	query	no	free text, ≤ 2000 chars	Optional analytical framing appended to the system prompt (e.g. `"focus on energy security"`).

Response shape

{
  "countryCode": "IR",
  "countryName": "Iran",
  "brief": "Multi-paragraph AI-generated brief …",
  "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
  "generatedAt": 1745421600000
}

generatedAt is Unix epoch milliseconds. model identifies which LLM produced the text.

Worked example

curl -s -H "X-WorldMonitor-Key: $WM_API_KEY" \
  'https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/intelligence/v1/get-country-intel-brief?country_code=IR' \
  | jq -r '.brief'

With an analytical framework:

curl -s --get -H "X-WorldMonitor-Key: $WM_API_KEY" \
  'https://api.worldmonitor.app/api/intelligence/v1/get-country-intel-brief' \
  --data-urlencode 'country_code=TR' \
  --data-urlencode 'framework=focus on energy corridors and Black Sea shipping'

Errors

400 — country_code missing, not 2 letters, or not uppercase.
401 — missing X-WorldMonitor-Key (server-to-server callers).
429 — rate limited; retry with backoff.
5xx — transient upstream model failure; retry once after 2s.

When NOT to use

For rankings or comparisons across countries, use fetch-resilience-score per country and aggregate client-side, or call the GetResilienceRanking RPC directly.
For raw news events rather than synthesized narrative, use SearchGdeltDocuments (/api/intelligence/v1/search-gdelt-documents).
