## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time IMB-sourced piracy and maritime security alerts for vessel route planning, risk assessment, or maritime security monitoring. It provides authoritative IMB Piracy Reporting Centre data with structured fields and full narration, making it ideal for agents that need to assess current piracy risk in specific ocean regions or straits.

## Known failure modes

- No broadcasts available if IMB source is temporarily unavailable
- Empty result set if filter terms match no active alerts
- Stale data if the upstream IMB feed has not been updated recently
- Invalid filter parameter may return zero results without error

## How this service works

Current piracy and armed-robbery broadcasts from the ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB) Piracy Reporting Centre: broadcast time (UTC), IMB identifier, category (attack, attempted attack, suspicious activity, warning...), location (e.g. Gulf of Aden, Singapore Straits) and the full narration, plus the cancel time when the message states one. Filter by location or category words.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of current broadcasts, an array of alert items each with IMB identifier, UTC timestamp, optional cancel time, category (e.g. WARNING, ATTACK, SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY), location name, human-readable time text, and the full narration text, plus the source URL and the time the data was last checked.
