Global Fishing Watch has released a new way to access dynamic data which fuels all our technologies.  Our Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provide software instructions that enable automatic connection of our data and products to other systems so users can easily download and integrate our datasets, code, and models to power their own platforms. By providing streamlined access to information on current fishing vessel activity, identity and history, we are helping create solutions for a resilient, sustainable ocean.

We want your early adopter feedback so we can improve your experience and enable more enhancements in the future!

Available APIs:
Map visualizations of fishing activity
Vessel search and identity
Events, including fishing, port visits, encounters, and loitering
