# ACLED

Provides conflict events, fatalities, event types, and locations.

- Auth: `ACLED_EMAIL` and `ACLED_PASSWORD`.
- Flow: OAuth password grant is tried first, then cookie session fallback.
- Failure modes: missing credentials, terms/profile not completed, expired token, account missing API access.
- Behavior: missing or rejected credentials produce degraded source health with the ACLED error text.
- Test: set credentials, run `node apis/sources/acled.mjs`, then check `/api/health`.
