Searoutes Ocean Routing API

openapi: 3.0.1

  title: Searoutes API
  description: >-
    Maritime routing and carbon-emissions REST API. Compute sea routes and
    distances, geocode ports and places, calculate multimodal CO2e emissions,
    track vessels via AIS, look up carriers and services, and retrieve weather
    along routes. All endpoints are served from https://api.searoutes.com and
    authenticated with an x-api-key header. Endpoint paths are modeled from the
    published Searoutes developer documentation and llms.txt reference index;
    request/response schemas are summarized rather than exhaustive.
