title: Datalastic Maritime Historical Ports API
description: Datalastic provides real-time AIS vessel tracking, historical ship movements, vessel specifications, and global port data over REST. A database of 750,000+ ships is queryable by MMSI, IMO, or Datalastic UUID. All endpoints are served from https://api.datalastic.com/api/v0 and authenticate with an api-key query parameter tied to a subscription plan. Usage is metered in monthly database credits - most endpoints deduct one credit per vessel or port returned, and historical endpoints deduct one credit per vessel per day of data. All plans share a limit of 600 API calls per minute.
