How do you work with this API?
Figuring out how to use Vessel Traffic Information API is not hard at all. You just have to follow some very brief steps. They are three, but only two are vital per se. Firstly, you will have to sign up, which will be the beginning of your experience with this ship data API. All it takes is for you to complete with some personal information a very short form. Secondly, after going through that registration, you will get an access key. This is a code that provides access to the endpoints. You may be thinking “What is an endpoint?”. Well, here we will explain it. The endpoint is a type of input and output where data enters and goes out.
You will be presented with three endpoints that you will find in the API Documentation tab. Firstly, you will see the GET VESSEL DATA BY SHIP ID endpoint. This feature gets you all possible information about a marine vessel after you pass a ship’s ID. Secondly, there is the GET VESSELS BY GEO LOCATION endpoint, which will return you any available vessels within a 300 nautical miles radius after you have passed a ship’s latitude and longitude. Thirdly, this last endpoint will give you back data related to any ship simply by searching a ship’s name. This is the GET VESSEL DATA BY SHIP NAME endpoint.
What is the third step?
Before we mentioned that there are three steps to use this API. Well, the third and final step is subscribing! This is again a simple situation. You just have to complete another brief form and choose a plan that suits your needs better. Nonetheless, if none of the plans we show you are suitable, create your own!
