The Global Fishing Watch map is the first open-access online platform for visualization and analysis of vessel-based human activity at sea, including fishing activity, encounters between vessels, night light vessel detection and vessel presence. This tool is designed to help interact programmatically with the [Global Fishing Watch data](https://globalfishingwatch.org/datasets-and-code/) and is not based on any official API so expect features to break once in a while.

### auth
The auth or authentication tool allows the user to use their name and password used for logging into Global Fishing Watch. This is stored locally and a bearer token is generated every time the tool is being used from the saved credentials.

### data-list
The data list tool fetches the datasets from the datasets and code page of global fishing watch. It then prints a table with both dataset id and the last updated date and time. Incase the server returns a status code of 500, a last updated datasets.json file is used to generate a dataset list.

### file-list
The file list tool fetches files inside a dataset and uses the dataset id to search for and print details about each file in the dataset. The tool also prints file size per file as well as total download size estimate.

### download
The download tool can only be utilized for area of interest that have been saved to my areas. As such this tool utilizes either the AOI name or ID. This submits the request and then waits for zipping to complete to then download a single zip files with all sources.
