Open Data API for Global Unreached People Groups with Fewest Christian Followers

Overview

The Joshua Project API offers RESTful access to open data on global people groups, focusing on unreached or least-reached communities with minimal Christian followers. Endpoints include retrieving group details (demographics, location, religious affiliation), filtering by region/country, and accessing unreached classification metrics. Responses are formatted in JSON. Ideal for mission organizations to identify outreach opportunities, educators creating faith-related content, researchers analyzing religious demographics, and developers building awareness tools for underserved communities.
