Interpol Red Notices

API

Free API for accessing and searching Interpol Red Notices data

Overview

This RESTful API provides programmatic access to Interpol Red Notices, with endpoints like GET /red-notices (paginated list with filters for name, nationality, or offense type) and GET /red-notices/{id} (detailed notice view). Responses are in JSON format, including fields like subject name, date of birth, alleged offenses, and issuing country. Use cases include law enforcement analytics tools, academic research on transnational crime, media reporting on fugitives, and global security platform integrations for cross-referencing individuals against public Red Notice data.
