API · Coming Q4 2026

The NimboX Risk API.

Trip-risk scores, weather-volatility indices, and resort-reliability ratings — licensable to travel insurance carriers, OTAs, and resort operators on a per-pull or per-decision royalty model. The independent rating for trip weather risk.

Why this exists

Weather risk needs a standard score

Travel insurance carriers price weather risk informally. OTAs surface "weather: 73°F sunny" but never tell a buyer whether the destination is reliable for their activity. Resort operators have no third-party reliability rating to point at. NimboX is building the missing layer — a standardized, audited, API-accessible score that any partner business can integrate.

What the API will return

GET /v1/risk/trip Trip Risk Score

Returns a 0-100 risk score for a specific trip — a destination, date range, and activity. Used by travel insurance carriers to price coverage and OTAs to surface confidence ratings at booking time.

// Request
GET /v1/risk/trip?destination=niseko&dates=2027-01-15:2027-01-22&activity=ski

// Response
{
  "score": 68,           // 0-100 (higher = riskier)
  "label": "Moderate",
  "confidence": 0.82,    // 0-1 (model agreement)
  "drivers": [
    "sst_anomaly_+1.4C",    // Sea of Japan warmth

    "ensemble_42pct_threshold"
  ],
  "updated_at": "2026-04-25T08:30:00Z"
}
GET /v1/index/weather-volatility Weather Volatility Index

A standardized volatility index for any region and weather variable. Used by financial counterparties and energy traders to size exposure to weather-correlated risk.

{
  "region": "hokkaido",

}
GET /v1/rating/resort Resort Reliability Rating

A multi-year reliability rating for a specific resort or destination. Resorts can license to display on their booking pages; OTAs can use to rank destinations.
