Globalrules runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 107 installs a week from npm. Last commit 4 Sep 2026.
Verified country facts (VAT, holidays, visas; 114 countries). Free + paid (x402 USDC) tools.
Today is the operative word: we check Globalrules every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
