Important: The gfw-api-python-client version 1 directly corresponds to Global Fishing Watch API version 3. As of April 30th, 2024, API version 3 is the standard. For the most recent API updates, refer to our API release notes. Introduction The gfw-api-python-client simplifies access to Global Fishing Watch (GFW) data through our APIs. It offers straightforward functions for retrieving GFW data. For R users, we also provide the gfwr package; learn more here The Global Fishing Watch Python package currently works with the following APIs: - Map Visualization (4Wings API): Access AIS apparent fishing effort, AIS vessel presence, and SAR vessel detections between 2017 to 5 days ago. - Vessels API: Search and retrieve vessel identity based on AIS self-reported data, combined with authorization and registry data from regional and national registries. - Events API: Retrieve vessel activity events such as encounters, loitering, port visits, fishing events, and AIS off (aka GAPs). - Insights API: Access vessel insights that combine AIS activity, vessel identity, and public authorizations. Designed to support risk-based decision-making, operational planning, and due diligence—particularly for assessing risks of IUU (Illegal, Unreported, or Unregulated) fishing. - Datasets API: Retrieve fixed offshore infrastructure detections (e.g., oil platforms, wind farms) from Sentinel-1 an","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/GlobalFishingWatch","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/GlobalFishingWatch/gfw-api-python-client/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
