Australian bushfire API live hotspots, signed.
National satellite fire detections for Australia — by state, by location, or country-wide — from Geoscience Australia / Digital Earth Australia, with an Ed25519 signature on every response.
The call
Keyless. Every response is Ed25519-signed — verify it against our published key instead of trusting it.

Bushfire is Australia's defining natural peril, and hotspot data is useless if it can't be trusted after the fact. This serves the national Geoscience Australia satellite detections with a cryptographic signature on every response — so a dashboard, an insurer or an AI agent can prove what was known, when.
Use it for
- Emergency dashboards and council situational awareness
- Rural operations and agtech near bushland
- Insurance and parametric trigger evidence
- AI agents answering Australians about fire activity
FAQ
Source?
Geoscience Australia / Digital Earth Australia Hotspots (VIIRS, MODIS and AHI sensors), released under CC BY 4.0.
Is every hotspot a fire?
No — a hotspot is a satellite thermal anomaly. Most are fires, but treat it as detection, not confirmation.
How do I verify a response?
Each response carries an Ed25519 signature over its canonical bytes — check it against /.well-known/keys, or see /proof.
Keyless?
Yes — /v1/bushfire is keyless.
