Open Data
All FireWatch sensor data is open — free to use for research, journalism, public bodies or your own projects. Static snapshots to download and a filterable API.
Data under CC BY 4.0Static snapshots
Flat JSON files, regenerated regularly. Ideal to ingest or for your own maps — they spare our database and can be fetched as often as you like.
All nodes with location, status, risk and latest reading.

Filterable API
Load only what you need — e.g. the visible map area. All parameters are optional and combinable.
| box=minLat,minLng,maxLat,maxLng | Bounding box: only nodes within these coordinates. |
| area=lat,lng,km | Radius in km around a point. |
| risk=alarm,warning | Filter by risk level(s). |
| status=online,offline | Filter by status (online/offline). |
| country=ES,DE | Filter by country (ISO code) — via the owning network. |
