The endpoint v1/geodata/download/fishhealth have been updated to restrict the time range when downloading all locality data with reporttype 'licereport'. The maximum time range is now 1 year and 1 week. Longer time ranges will result in 400 bad request. When specifying localityno there is no maximum time range.

Four waveforecast endpoints will be removed after April 12, 2026. These endpoints have been marked as obsolete for an extended period and have replacement endpoints available (v2).

The endpoints that will be removed are:

• v1/geodata/waveforecast/fairway
• v1/geodata/waveforecast/
• v1/geodata/currentwaves-points
• v1/geodata/currentwaves-point/{name}

Satellite positions are now filtered from the track endpoints, if the vessel has a recent position from onshore or offshore receivers. The satellite message has lower position precision, so the position from onshore or offshore recievers is the preferred position.

A filterSatellitePositions query parameter has been added to the /v1/historic/tracks/{mmsi}/{fromDate}/{toDate} endpoint, if you want to disable the filter and get all positions: https://historic.ais.barentswatch.no/index.html

AIS data now have a property stream to show the origin of the message. The property may be 'terra' (onshore AIS receivers), 'satellite' or 'offshore'.

The OpenAPI documentation has been updated:

• https://historic.ais.barentswatch.no/index.html#/
• https://live.ais.barentswatch.no/index.html

Three new endpoints for point forecasts have been added to the Waveforecast API:

• v1/seacurrent/nearest
• v1/seacurrent/nearest/all
• v1/windforecastpoint/nearest/all

They are similary to these existing endpoints:

• /v1/waveforecastpoint/nearest
• /v1/waveforecastpoint/nearest/all

See API documentation for details: https://www.barentswatch.no/bwapi/openapi/index.html?urls.primaryName=Waveforecast+API#/ForecastPoint

Four new endpoints for current forecasts have been added to the Waveforecast API:

• Kvalsundet: v1/geodata/kvalsundet
• Rystraumen: v1/geodata/rystraumen
• Sandnessundet: v1/geodata/sandnessundet
• Tromsøysundet: v1/geodata/sandnessundet

See API documentation for details: https://www.barentswatch.no/bwapi/openapi/index.html?urls.primaryName=Waveforecast%20API#/Currents

The endpoint /v1/geodata/fiskinfo/{apiName} has been marked as obsolete and will be removed after August 15, 2025.

As previously announced the Sustainability in Aquaculture API is now removed.

FishInfo API:

• Added endpoint /v1/geodata/npdsurveyfisheryexperts/{id}, which returns a list of experts per survey
• Deprecated endpoint /v1/geodata/npdsurveyfisheryexpert/{id}, which returns only a single expert per survey

See API documentation for details: https://www.barentswatch.no/bwapi/openapi/index.html?urls.primaryName=FishInfo+API#/NpdSurvey

To accomodate for changes in the disease data sent by aquaculture sites, the Fishhealth API has some updates.

In addition to Pancreas disease (PD) and Infectious salmon anemia (ISA), the API is now providing data about several other types of disease via new endpoints.

The outdated endpoints have now been marked as obsolete in the Fishhealth API, and will be removed after 25th of May 2025.
