Description
Record the stated origin and destination of a migration record.
International records depend on source vintages, country classifications, population denominators, currency conventions and reporting periods. A code or textual crosswalk is a declared record relationship rather than proof of comparability. PPP-style factors, market exchange rates and physical-flow adjustments answer different questions.
Record the stated origin and destination of a migration record.
When to use this tool
Use Global Migration Origin Destination Token when checking the stated international record, basis, flow or allocation convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter originCode, destinationCode, classificationSource. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty origin/destination codes and classification source. Encode them in that order as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| originCode | Origin Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| destinationCode | Destination Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| classificationSource | Classification Source | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"originCode": "AA",
"destinationCode": "BB",
"classificationSource": "Classification A"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"AA\",\"BB\",\"Classification A\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No migration event, geographical code, route or classification authority is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult original datasets, authoritative classifications and the intended statistical/currency methods before comparing international indicators or financial quantities.
