hormuz_vessels — Strait of Hormuz per-vessel intelligence: the live-AIS vessel manifest (MMSI-keyed, flag from the MMSI MID), OFAC-sanctioned vessels currently in the Persian Gulf window, per-vessel risk bands, latest raw AIS positions, the AIS-dark vessel list, and OFAC + UK sanctions reference-list sizes (per-IMO multi-body detail via hormuz_vessel_dossier).
hormuz_history — Strait of Hormuz historical series as one contract: hourly stranded-vessel (stranded) and AIS-dark (ais-gaps) counts up to a full year (free tier: 30 days and none), the 5-minute Hormuz Index (index-5min, days 1-30), and daily transit counts (transits) enriched with the 7-day moving average, pre-crisis-baseline deviation, and reopening-threshold headroom.
hormuz_brief — AI-assisted Strait of Hormuz daily situation brief as structured JSON: prose summary, bullets, and key figures, by date or latest.
hormuz_vessel_dossier — Single Strait of Hormuz vessel sanctions + risk dossier by IMO: the unified multi-body sanctions view (US OFAC and the UK/FCDO list, the UK row adding owner/operator, flag, tonnage, ship type, year built, and Date Designated), merged identity, per-vessel risk band, and dark-activity (AIS-gap) record.
hormuz_export — Bulk Strait of Hormuz history export: every requested series (index-5min, stranded, ais-gaps, transits) at full retained history in one call as JSON, with the transit series carrying per-day analytics (7-day MA, baseline deviation, reopening-threshold headroom).
hormuz_flags — Strait of Hormuz flag rollup: the flag states of the live-AIS vessel population ranked by vessel count, each with a per-flag sanctioned tally, plus distinct-flag count and sanctioned share.
hormuz_risk_screen — Strait of Hormuz shadow-fleet risk screen: the live-AIS vessel population ranked worst-first, each hull with its risk band, the typed reasons behind it (ofac_sdn, ais_dark, foc_tanker, imo_spoofed), and which sanctions bodies list it (US OFAC and/or UK/FCDO).
hormuz_bunker — Strait of Hormuz bunker & marine-fuel feed: current VLSFO, IFO380, and MGO prices ($/tonne) for Fujairah (the #2-3 global bunkering hub, just outside the strait and the physical fueling alternative when transit is disrupted), benchmarked against Singapore and Rotterdam, plus the derived Fujairah premium over each hub.
