Antarctica Open API
Keyless Antarctic stations, geography, sea ice, live weather and wildlife.
Overview
A free, read-only geospatial API for Antarctica: research facilities, places, protected areas, historic sites, sea-ice context, live METAR weather and historical wildlife observations. Every layer is source-attributed. Separate from paid PropData property APIs; Antarctica has no private parcel market.
Coverage & limits
The Antarctic continent and surrounding sea ice.
- Research facilities, places, protected areas and historic sites
- Sea ice by location and grid
- Live weather from station reports
- Historical wildlife observations by species and cell
- Source-specific rights and freshness apply; see each response
- 120 requests per minute per IP
