Vessel Traffic Information API

Vessel Information API gives you information about all globally live onboard vessels.

About the API:

This API provides live information about vessels around the globe. Check your tracking shipments with this API and receive additional information about the ship in question. The Vessel Traffic Information API provides developers with access to three endpoints, allowing them to retrieve various details about vessels and their current status.

What this API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?

This API will receive the IMO Code. Get information like destination port, departure port, information about the ship, its max draught, how long it is, and more. 

What are the most common uses cases of this API?

This API is ideal for those companies that want to track the vessel's routes. Also, you can enrich your databases with information related to any ship. If you want to check where your ship is located at any moment, this API is the one you need. 

Maritime Tracking and Analysis:

Shipping Companies: Shipping companies can utilize the API to track their vessels' current positions, monitor their routes, and analyze performance metrics such as speed, draught, and navigational status.

Port Authorities: Port authorities can use the API to monitor vessel traffic, track arrivals, and departures, optimize port operations, and ensure efficient utilization of resources.

Logistics and Supply Chain Management:

Freight Forwarders: Freight forwarders can leverage the API to track vessels carrying their cargo, monitor route progress, and provide accurate estimated arrival times to customers.

Customs and Trade Compliance: Customs authorities can utilize the API to track vessels and their routes to ensure compliance with import and export regulations, improve security measures, and enhance risk assessment capabilities.

Market Research and Analysis:

Maritime Analysts: Researchers and analysts in the maritime industry can access vessel data to study trends, analyze market demand, and gain insights into vessel types, sizes, and utilization.

Financial Institutions: Banks, insurance companies, and investment firms can use the API to gather vessel-specific information for risk assessment, underwriting policies, and investment analysis related to maritime assets.

Emergency Response and Safety:

Search and Rescue Operations: Emergency response teams can leverage the API to track vessels in distress, monitor their positions, and coordinate rescue efforts.

Maritime Security: Naval forces and coastguards can utilize the API to monitor vessel movements in sensitive areas, detect potential threats, and enhance maritime security operations.

Research and Education:

Maritime Schools and Institutes: Educational institutions can incorporate the API into their curriculum to provide students with real-world vessel tracking and analysis exercises.

Maritime Environmental Research: Researchers studying marine ecosystems and environmental impacts can access vessel data to analyze shipping patterns and their potential ecological effects.

Are there any limitations with your plans?

Besides API call limitations per month, there are no other limitations.

The Vessel Traffic Information is an API that provides information about live on-board vessels globally or within a specified range of areas. It allows users to access a list of vessels and retrieve individual ship details.

To retrieve information about a specific vessel, you need to make an API request to the GET VESSEL DATA BY IMO CODE endpoint, passing the vessel's IMO number as a parameter. The API will return the requested vessel information.

To retrieve the current route information of a vessel, you need to provide the vessel's IMO number in the API request to the GET CURRENT ROUTE BY IMO CODE endpoint. The API will return details such as departure port, departure ATD, callsign, flag, length/beam, IMO/MMSI, navigation status, current draught, course/speed, arrival port, arrival ETA, and the latest ports visited by the vessel.

The GET POSITION endpoint allows you to retrieve the current position of a vessel, including details such as the area, current port, latitude, longitude, navigational status, speed, course, and AIS source.

Yes, the Vessel Traffic Information API provides information about all live on-board vessels globally.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges.

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
