name: ShipFinder AIS Data API description: >- ShipFinder, operated by Singapore-based ELANE GLOBAL PTE. LTD., publishes a REST/HTTP maritime data API that turns the global AIS feed into queryable vessel intelligence. Forty documented operations are organised into seven datasets: AIS (single, multi and fleet vessel positions, vessel search, vessels nearby, vessels in a zone, flag information), Voyage (port information, currently berthed and anchored vessels, expected arrivals), History (position tracks, ship-to-ship rendezvous, port-call records by vessel and by port), Prediction (point-to-point and port-to-port route planning with deviation-node constraints, and ETA), Meteorology (global tropical cyclones, tide gauge stations, marine weather), China region coastline navigational warnings, and an Event dataset whose fleet, geofence and speed-alert operations drive seven documented webhook push streams. Authentication is a single API key carried as the "key" query parameter (or body property on writes); every response is JSON in a {status, msg, data} envelope where status 0 means success and errors arrive with HTTP 200. ShipFinder publishes per-endpoint OpenAPI 3.0.1 fragments on its documentation host plus an llms.txt index, and several controlled vocabularies (AIS vessel type, navigation status, sea areas, deviation nodes, AtoN types, service return codes). image: https://www.shipfinder.com/Content/images/newlogo.svg url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/shipfinder-ais-data-api/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-08-04' modified: '2026-08-09' specificationVersion: '0.21' tags: -
