This post will focus on all the qualities that Vessel Traffic Information API has to offer you. Many people who employ this API are part of maritime companies but others employ it as well. What this API will get you is a very complete list of ship information. But that is not all it does. So keep reading and learn all about it!
What ship information does it provide?
This maritime API is unique. It offers a large variety of information as well as incredible qualities. Vessel Traffic Information API is the number one API for many because of how reliable and efficient it is. Its database is extremely big that whichever marine ship that you search with it will be found. You can get information like where the vessel has been built, the flag that it carries, the marine ship’s triangular position, when is it estimated to arrive at its arrival port, the marine ship’s destination and departure port as well, the vessel’s max draught, how long the marine ship is, and a lot more. Besides this great information, you can even get a list of all of the vessels that are located in an area. Depending on what you want to do with the maritime API you will pick the endpoint you need to use.
There are three endpoints. Firstly, there is the GET VESSEL DATA BY SHIP ID endpoint. To successfully use this one, you just need to pass a ship’s ID through it and then the maritime API will get you all the ship information we mentioned before as well as much more. Secondly, there is the GET VESSELS BY GEO LOCATION endpoint. This one requires you to pass a vessel’s latitude and longitude to get you back a list with every single marine ship within a 300 nautical miles radius. Lastly, the third endpoint is the GET VESSEL DATA BY SHIP NAME endpoint. This last one asks for a vessel’s name and in return, it will get you all the existent information about it. They all are simple to use, so do not worry. Following, we will tell you how to successfully subscribe and get Vessel Traffic Information API.
