Frequently asked questions

What Cuba Radar is, how it works, what data it uses, and how to cite it.

What is Cuba Radar?
Cuba Radar is an independent OSINT (open-source intelligence) platform that tracks, in real time, protests, arrests, power outages and internet disruptions in Cuba. Every 30 minutes it ingests nine independent media outlets, the daily report of Unión Eléctrica (UNE) and Cloudflare Radar data, and places each event on an interactive map.
What does OSINT mean?
OSINT (open-source intelligence) is intelligence derived from open, publicly available sources. Cuba Radar collects and structures that information so you can explore it by province, event type and time, with sources explicitly cited.
How often is the data updated?
The ingestion pipeline runs every 30 minutes. News is re-read and classified with automated extraction; electricity and internet data refresh in parallel.
Which sources does Cuba Radar use?
Nine independent outlets: 14ymedio, Diario de Cuba, El Toque, El Estornudo, Cubalex, Martí Noticias, CiberCuba, ADN Cuba and CubitaNow. Plus Unión Eléctrica de Cuba (unionelectrica.cu) for electricity and the Cloudflare Radar API for internet.
What is Cuba's current electricity deficit?
The deficit varies throughout the day. See /infraestructura/electricidad for the latest report, peak deficit, affected plants, and the 30-day trend.
How are events geolocated?
We use public mapping services to turn the mentioned city/municipality into coordinates and assign it to one of Cuba's 16 provinces. Events without a clear location are marked as unknown.
Is Cuba Radar affiliated with any government or party?
No. It is an independent, open-source project with no government funding. Sources are explicitly cited on every event.
Can I download the data?
For now we do not offer an open public API for third parties. If you need access for research or collaboration, contact us via /feedback.
How do I report an event or a bug?
Use the floating Feedback button in the bottom-right corner. We review every message.
What is ETECSA and why does it appear in internet alerts?
ETECSA (Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba S.A., ASN 27725) is the state operator that controls most of the island's internet traffic. Cloudflare Radar monitors its network to detect outages and anomalies.
Are the provinces with blackouts the same as those with protests?
The best way to explore relationships between events and infrastructure is the map. Open /mapa and filter by province, type and time window.
