    The COD Services API is a companion to the HDX API, which focuses on COD, theme organization, metadata, gazetteer output and lookup functionality. For instance, an external application may access the API to search for a place for humanitarian context work and show administrative units or population statistics based on UN OCHA FIS and UN FPA sources.
