Query Global Forest Watch's RADD radar-based deforestation alerts (or the merged integrated-alerts dataset) via the GFW Data API
domain: data-api.globalforestwatch.org · 4 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checked community attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps Use the same auth flow as GLAD (sign-up, token, apikey) against data-api.globalforestwatch.org Query the wur_radd_alerts dataset directly, or query the merged gfw_integrated_alerts dataset which combines GLAD-L, GLAD-S2 and RADD POST to /dataset/gfw_integrated_alerts/latest/query/json with an x-api-key header and a {sql, geometry} body Parse returned fields such as gfw_integrated_alerts__date, __confidence (low/nominal/high), __intensity, and coordinates
Known gotchas RADD uses Sentinel-1 radar (10m) so it sees through cloud cover, unlike optical GLAD, but is scoped only to primary humid tropical forest, not global Querying the combined gfw_integrated_alerts dataset is usually more useful than RADD alone since it surfaces whichever system detects change earliest The same key-expiry/domain-matching rate-limit behavior as the GLAD endpoint applies here too
