Advisory changes

GET/v1/advisories/changes

Every dated change governments have made to their travel advice, newest first: the government's own note, the sections it touched, and, once read, its categories, a one-sentence summary and the likely impact on travel to the destination. History back to 2018 for the UK government's advice. With with=arrivals, each change carries the destination's monthly arrivals in that month and one and three months on, against a year before.
