Crate worldmonitor 

World Monitor Rust SDK

The official Rust client for World Monitor, a global intelligence dashboard for geopolitical risk, markets, conflict, news, and other live data.

This blocking client calls any World Monitor MCP tool and host-relative REST endpoints. It uses reqwest with Rustls and serde_json. It does not require the desktop app or a system OpenSSL installation.

Install

Registry installation requires a published release. If the crate is not yet published on crates.io, use a path dependency from this repository:

[dependencies]
worldmonitor = { path = "sdk/rust" }
serde_json = "1"

After the first release is verified, install with cargo add worldmonitor. The intended registry name is worldmonitor, and the Rust import is worldmonitor.

List tools and query source data

use serde_json::json;
use worldmonitor::{Client, Config};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let public = Client::new(Config::default())?;
    let tools = public.list_tools()?;
    let sources = public.call_tool("get_sources", json!({"view": "summary"}))?;
    println!("{sources}");

    let client = Client::from_env()?;
    // Requires a subscription API key in WORLDMONITOR_API_KEY.
    let risk = client.country_risk("IR")?;
    let markets = client.call_tool("get_market_data", json!({"asset_class": "crypto"}))?;
    Ok(())
}

list_tools, list_prompts, and list_resources are public. get_sources is the only data tool that needs no key and consumes no daily quota. Anonymous source requests have a separate limit of 10 calls per minute per IP. Other data tools require a subscription API key from World Monitor Pro.

Tool arguments must be a JSON object. call_tool returns the unwrapped JSON-RPC result, preserving MCP content, structuredContent, and isError. Inspect isError for tool-level failures. JSON-RPC failures return Error::Mcp, including code, message, and optional data. HTTP failures return Error::Http, including status and body. Network, JSON, and protocol failures have separate error variants.

Use call_tool for parameters such as jmespath, limit, and country filters. country_risk is a convenience method for get_country_risk. JSON and finite SSE responses are supported. Session management, streaming subscriptions, and automatic retries are not provided.

Configure the client

Client::from_env() reads these variables:

Variable	Default
WORLDMONITOR_API_KEY	Anonymous. WM_API_KEY is a fallback.
WORLDMONITOR_BASE_URL	https://api.worldmonitor.app
WORLDMONITOR_MCP_URL	https://worldmonitor.app/mcp

Empty variables use the defaults. For explicit configuration, pass a Config to Client::new. Config::default() never reads environment variables. Set api_key to Some("wm_...".into()) to authenticate, and set timeout to change the 30-second request deadline. The REST base must be an origin without a path. Use HTTPS for remote endpoints. HTTP is available for local testing and self-hosted servers.

Every request sends worldmonitor-rust/<version> (+https://worldmonitor.app) as its User-Agent and an X-WorldMonitor-Key header when configured. Redirects are disabled to prevent forwarding that key to another destination. The client does not implement Debug, and the credential header is marked sensitive.

This is a synchronous SDK. In an async application, create, use, and drop it within the runtime’s blocking-task facility.

Query a REST endpoint

use worldmonitor::{Client, Config};

let client = Client::new(Config::default())?;
let health = client.health()?;
let response = client.get("/api/health", &[("detail", "true")])?;

Paths must start with a single /. Pass query parameters separately. Absolute URLs, query strings in the path, and fragments are rejected.

Verify from source

From sdk/rust, run:

cargo fmt --check
cargo clippy --locked --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo test --locked
cargo package --locked

cargo run --locked --example sources makes one anonymous live data request. Tests use local HTTP fixtures and do not need an API key.

See the first-release runbook for account setup and publication. The package metadata links back to the official repository and product domain.

Structs

Client

A blocking MCP and REST client. Use outside an async runtime.

Config

Connection settings. Default is anonymous and does not read the environment.

Enums

Error

A request or configuration failure.

Constants
