Interested? Scroll down to the Sandbar section to learn how to start testing in our free, open environment.  We’re adding to our [huge vessel update from last week](https://blog.goldfish.io/new-vessel-data-on-the-goldfish-api/)! The team is karate-chopping vessel data left and right to get it out the door and on the API ASAP. We’ll keep this update short, sweet, and spicy today.  ## New Sources We added 4 country vessel datasets to the API this week. **We now source from the Faroe Islands, Costa Rica, Panama, and Alaska (United States).** This update required translating data from Faroese and Spanish, removing bad data like `(INACTIVA)` from random cells, and creating a new schema.  ## “I lost track, what data does Goldfish incorporate?” Let’s pause and refresh on everything available in the Goldfish `vessels` function. As of today, we pull in, standardize, and harmonize vessel data from:  - **30 country vessel lists** - All major RFMO vessel lists - 13 RFMO IUU vessel lists - United States Withhold Release Orders - Outlaw Ocean’s baddie vessel list - And a whole lot more to come *hi-ya* ## Output Variables In this update, we added 3 new output variables to the API. They are `otherID`, `vesselFuelType`, and `vesselEngineType`.  `otherID` captures the unique vessel IDs found in country datasets. For example, this is where you can find US Coast Guard Numbers.  `vesselFuelType` identifies whether a vessel has a gasoline or diesel engine.  `vesselEngineType` calls out a vessel’s type of motor, such as outboard, stationary, or oars if you’re in a canoe.  With these additions, there are now **46** harmonized output variables in the \`vessels\` function. These variables are designed to answer questions that you, your supply chain, or your *spreadsheet guru* Larry might have about a vessel. And yes, these questions can be as nerdy as you want, we have the data to answer *practically* anything!  ## Take Me To The Sandbar This update is live on the Sandbar!
