Real-Time Firehose
The Shodan Firehose is a real-time data feed containing all the information that the Shodan crawlers are collecting. The stream is provided as a web service – once a client connects to the Streaming API it starts receiving JSON-encoded banners until it disconnects from the server.
List of Available StreamsBulk Data
Shodan provides daily bulk data files which contain all the information that crawlers collected during a given day. Each file is compressed using Gzip and contains a single JSON-encoded banner per line. The most recent 30 days are always available for download and depending on your account you may also have access to historical data.
On-Demand Scanning
Shodan crawls the entire Internet once a week, but if you want to request Shodan to scan a network immediately you can do so using the on-demand scanning capabilities of the API. Request the scan of anything from an individual IP up to the entire Internet.
