Data & API Requests

I am wondering if it is possible to access the "Environment" data layer in addition to the vessels and fishing activity layers via the APIs. I was hoping to use your api in conjunction with the vessels and fishing activity layers to augment a machine learning project for microplastic concentration prediction

Does anyone know why, when I pull the squid jigger data for the IATTC area, I get different values than those shown on the map? For example, for 2011 in the IATTC area, the map shows 210 vessels, while gfwR ( gfw_ais_fishing_hours ) results 197 unique vessels. Here are the < https://globalfishingwatch.org/map/fishing-activity/default-public/report/public-rfmo/IATTC?_gl=1%2A1hg2zn9%2A_gcl_au%2AMTgxODMyMDk4LjE3NTU3OTQyMjU.%2A_ga%2AMjI4MjQyODM3LjE3NTU3OTQyMjU.%2A_ga_5W83X3EYGW%2AczE3NTkzMjM0NDEkbzUyJGcwJHQxNzU5MzIzNDQxJGo2MCRsMCRoNDY0Nzg1MDI4%2A_ga_M5J2ZHDZMV%2AczE3NTkzMjM0NDEkbzE5JGcwJHQxNzU5MzIzNDQxJGo2MCRsMCRoOTI5MDUzOTM3&amp;longitude=-110.02665&amp;latitude=0&amp;zoom=1.92618414&amp;dvIn[0][id]=context-layer-rfmo&amp;dvIn[0][cfg][vis]=true&amp;dvIn[1][id]=vms&amp;dvIn[1][cfg][vis]=false&amp;dvIn[2][id]=ais&amp;dvIn[2][cfg][vis]=true&amp;dvIn[2][cfg][filters][geartype][0]=squid_jigger&amp;bDV&amp;start=2021-01-01T00%3A00%3A00.000Z&amp;end=2022-01-01T00%3A00%3A00.000Z&amp;lTD=&amp;fTD=&amp;trackCorrectionId=&amp;aVM=heatmap|dynamic report> and code. ```code_rfmo &lt;- gfw_region_id(region_name = "IATTC", region_source = "RFMO") fh2025 &lt;- gfw_ais_fishing_hours( spatial_resolution = "HIGH", temporal_resolution = "DAILY", group_by = "VESSEL_ID", start_date = "2021-01-01", end_date = "2021-12-31", region = gfw_region_id(region_name = "IATTC", region_source = "RFMO")$id[1], region_source = "RFMO") fh_squid_2025 &lt;- fh2025 %&gt;% filter( Gear Type %in% c("SQUID_JIGGER")) length(unique(fh_squid_2025$ Vessel ID ))```

Context: "Currently I’m submitting a separate request for each of the different speed category levels in order to get a speed value for each result… it might be nice in the future to allow speed to be one of the ‘group’ options so that this could be done in a single request.” NOAA researcher (via API Support) Adding support for group-by=SPEED in the 4Wings API report endpoint would allow users to generate this data in a single request, improving performance and usability, especially for time- and bandwidth-sensitive analyses.
