Geopolitical & Security

Search the GDELT Project database for global news events, media tone analysis, geographic heatmaps, and TV news monitoring across 100+ languages. GDELT indexes millions of articles daily from 250,000+ outlets with 15-minute update cycles. Actions: 'article_search' (keyword search, returns articles with URLs, images, tone scores), 'timeline' (volume or tone over time), 'tone_chart' (sentiment distribution), 'geo_heatmap' (GeoJSON of event locations), 'tv_search' (TV news clip search). Supports filters for language, source country, domain, and GDELT themes (TERROR, PROTEST, MILITARY, etc.).

Search the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED) database for political violence and protest events worldwide. Returns georeferenced events with date, location (lat/long), actor names, fatality counts, and detailed descriptions. Covers battles, explosions/remote violence, violence against civilians, protests, riots, and strategic developments. 1M+ events since 1997, updated weekly. Actions: 'search_events' (filter by country, event type, date, actor, fatalities), 'search_actors' (search conflict actors by name or country).

Query the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) for academic-grade armed conflict data since 1946. The world's primary source for data on organized violence. Actions: 'events' (georeferenced violent events with coordinates, fatality estimates, actor details — the GED dataset), 'conflicts' (state-based armed conflict records with type, parties, and intensity), 'actors' (conflict actors with country affiliations). All data is peer-reviewed and follows rigorous coding methodology.

Query NASA FIRMS for near real-time active fire and thermal anomaly detections from MODIS and VIIRS satellite instruments. Detects fires, military activity (thermal signatures from explosions, burning vehicles/equipment), industrial events, and environmental disasters. Global coverage updated multiple times daily. Actions: 'area_query' (fires within a geographic bounding box), 'country_query' (fires by country ISO3 code). Returns latitude, longitude, brightness, fire radiative power (FRP), confidence, satellite, and acquisition time for each detection.

Query the OpenSky Network for live and historical flight tracking data from a global community ADS-B sensor network. Actions: 'live_states' (all current aircraft positions, optionally filtered by bounding box or ICAO24 code), 'flights_by_aircraft' (flight history for a specific aircraft), 'track_aircraft' (waypoint trajectory for an aircraft), 'arrivals' (flights arriving at an airport), 'departures' (flights departing from an airport). State vectors include ICAO24 address, callsign, origin country, position, altitude, velocity, heading, and vertical rate.

Query Global Fishing Watch for vessel tracking, fishing activity, and maritime event detection. Tracks 180,000+ vessels using AIS and satellite radar. Machine learning classifies fishing activity and detects dark vessels. Actions: 'search_vessels' (find vessels by name, MMSI, IMO, callsign, or flag state), 'vessel_events' (get fishing, encounter/transshipment, loitering, and port visit events for specific vessels), 'fishing_events' (fishing-specific events, optionally filtered). Critical for sanctions evasion monitoring, IUU fishing detection, and maritime security.

Search UN OCHA ReliefWeb for humanitarian reports, disaster records, and country profiles. The primary global aggregator for humanitarian crisis information since 1981. Actions: 'search_reports' (situation reports, assessments, news from humanitarian organizations — filter by country, theme, source), 'search_disasters' (disaster records with GLIDE numbers, type, status — filter by country, disaster type), 'get_country' (country profile with humanitarian context). Covers natural disasters, armed conflicts, epidemics, and complex emergencies.

Search the UN OCHA Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) for humanitarian datasets and indicators. HDX hosts 20,000+ datasets from 1,500+ organizations (UNHCR, WFP, IOM, WHO, ACLED). Actions: 'search_datasets' (search the CKAN catalog for datasets by keyword, organization, or tag), 'get_indicators' (query standardized humanitarian indicators via HAPI — population, refugees, IDPs, food security, poverty — by location and time). Critical for humanitarian situation awareness and crisis response planning.

Search Shodan, the search engine for Internet-connected devices. Indexes all devices visible on the public internet: servers, IoT, industrial control systems (ICS/SCADA), webcams, databases. Actions: 'search_hosts' (query by service, port, country, org, OS — e.g. 'apache country:RU', 'port:502 Modbus'), 'host_info' (detailed info for a specific IP — ports, services, banners, CVEs, SSL certs), 'dns_resolve' (hostname-to-IP or reverse resolution), 'search_exploits' (search exploit databases by keyword or CVE). Critical for infrastructure vulnerability assessment and cyber-geopolitical analysis.

Query ADS-B Exchange for unfiltered aircraft tracking data. Unlike FlightRadar24 and FlightAware, ADS-B Exchange does NOT honor military/government block requests (LADD/PIA), making it the preferred OSINT source for tracking military, government, and sensitive aircraft. Actions: 'aircraft_by_location' (all aircraft within a radius of a lat/lon point), 'aircraft_by_icao' (track by ICAO 24-bit hex code), 'aircraft_by_callsign' (track by callsign like 'RCH871' or 'FORTE12'). Returns real-time position, altitude, speed, heading, registration, and aircraft type.

Search the official U.S. Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and Consolidated Non-SDN sanctions lists. Updated daily. Includes individuals, entities, vessels, and aircraft subject to U.S. sanctions across all programs (Ukraine/Russia, Iran, North Korea, Counter Terrorism, etc.). Actions: 'search_sdn' (search the SDN list), 'search_consolidated' (search the Consolidated Non-SDN list — includes sectoral sanctions, foreign sanctions evaders, Palestinian Legislative Council, etc.). Filter by name, country, sanctions program, or entity type.

Get real-time conflict and crisis events from Liveuamap. Aggregates news, social media posts, and official reports into geolocated events plotted on interactive maps. Covers active conflict zones including Ukraine, Syria, Middle East (Israel/Palestine), Yemen, Libya, Africa, South Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Returns timestamped events with geographic coordinates and source descriptions. Note: This is an unofficial integration — data availability may vary.
