Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.
Is Global Shark Attack API free to use?
Global Shark Attack API is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires some form of authentication, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.
Does Global Shark Attack API need an API key?
Global Shark Attack API requires some form of authentication. Check the provider's documentation for which scheme it expects.
Can I call Global Shark Attack API from browser JavaScript?
Not directly. Global Shark Attack API did not return CORS headers when we checked, so the browser will block your page from reading the response even though the request itself succeeds. Call it from a server, or put a small proxy in front of it.
Is Global Shark Attack API still working?
Not at our last check on 2026-09-18. Global Shark Attack API did not respond successfully, which is why it is marked as down here. This may be temporary; we re-check on a schedule and the badge above reflects the most recent run.
