The Global Shark Attack File (GSAF) API offers access to a comprehensive dataset of human-shark interactions, including detailed incident reports categorized by type, such as unprovoked, provoked, boat-related, war-related, and questionable incidents. Users can explore bite patterns, species identification, and circumstances surrounding shark encounters, providing valuable insights for researchers, enthusiasts, and conservationists interested in understanding shark behavior and the rarity of shark attacks.
Build an interactive shark-attack map, a timeline of incidents, or a research dataset joinable with weather or tourism data — all from the Global Shark Attack file. You can query individual incidents or export whole result sets as JSON, CSV or GeoJSON to analyze or visualize. The records search is convenient for small queries and mapping, and the exports endpoint lets you pull larger datasets for deeper analysis. Try it to prototype maps, dashboards, or data stories about shark-human interactions.
