...
GeoJSON files may also be included. Vector tiles in dynamic or downloadable (.mbtiles) format may be available (see list). For more information on vector tiles see documentation here.

Q: What file formats are COD-PS datasets provided in?
...
XLSX spreadsheets for the gazetteer
XLSX spreadsheets for the population statistics, with a separate worksheet containing separate worksheets for each administrative level
individual CSV spreadsheets for each population statistics administrative level
...

...
Q: Can I link my application to the CODs?
A: Yes. The Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) is the source for CODs and this platform has an API. A more COD-specific API that provides detailed information, such as P-Code and names lists in gazetteers, administrative levels, metadata, and a version scheme is available. This API is largely synchronised with COD production documented in the COD Portal.
...
Q: Can I retrieve COD data/information based on a specific set of geographic coordinates or P-Code?
A: Yes. To access a listing of COD P-Codes and names for a given input like coordinates and/or iso-2 code try the COD Services lookup resource.
