Travel Advisories Monitor: US, UK, Canada Levels

Travel Advisories Monitor collects official government travel advisories and travel warnings. It reads the US State Department, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and Global Affairs Canada.

It returns one row per country per government. Every row has the risk level on one 1 to 4 scale. The original wording stays next to it.

Travel risk teams, travel management companies, insurers and AI agents use it. Schedule it daily with monitor mode on. Each run then returns only the advisories that changed.

Travel advisories covered: US, UK and Canada

Government	Source	Advisories (21 October 2026)	Reuse licence
United States	State Department travel advisories feed	217	Public domain (US government work)
United Kingdom	FCDO foreign travel advice, GOV.UK Content API	226	Open Government Licence v3.0
Canada	Global Affairs Canada open data feed	230	Open Government Licence - Canada

A full run gives about 670 rows. Counts change when governments add or merge destinations.

Travel advisory levels: how they are normalised

Level	United States	Canada	United Kingdom
1	Exercise normal precautions	Exercise normal security precautions	No FCDO advice against travel
2	Exercise increased caution	Exercise a high degree of caution	FCDO advises against travel to parts of the country only
3	Reconsider travel	Avoid non-essential travel	FCDO advises against all but essential travel to the whole country
4	Do not travel	Avoid all travel	FCDO advises against all travel to the whole country

The US and Canada use four levels, so the mapping is direct. The UK has no numbered levels. The Actor maps FCDO alert statuses as shown above. The levelLabel field always keeps the government's own wording.

• US government works are in the public domain. UK content is under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Canadian content is under the Open Government Licence - Canada.

Travel advisories FAQ

Which governments does it cover?

It covers the US State Department, the UK FCDO and Global Affairs Canada. Pick one, two or all three.

How does it compare UK travel advice with US levels?

The UK has no numbered levels. The Actor maps FCDO alert statuses to the 1 to 4 scale. The levelLabel field keeps each government's own wording.

Does it return the full advisory text?

No. Each row has a short summary and the official link. Read the full advisory on the official site.

Where do the risk categories come from?

From the government's own words. For US advisories the Actor reads the reasons after "due to" in the opening line, such as "due to crime and terrorism", and maps them with fixed keyword rules. The list is empty when the line names no risk. UK and Canada rows carry update notes, so their list is always empty.

How do I get an alert when a travel advisory changes?

Turn on monitor mode and schedule the Actor daily. Each later run returns only advisories whose level or update date changed. The previousLevel field shows the old level.

Can an AI agent use it?

Yes. Agents can find and run it through the Apify MCP server or the Apify API. Every row uses the same fields for all three governments.
