AsyncAPI channel · AISStream · AISStream Real-Time AIS Stream (WebSocket)

/v0/stream

The single AISStream channel. After the WebSocket is open the client publishes one `SubscriptionMessage`; the server then subscribes the client to matching traffic and streams `AisStreamMessage` envelopes until the socket is closed. The subscription can be updated at any time by sending a new `SubscriptionMessage` over the same connection.

About AsyncAPI

The AsyncAPI specification describes event-driven APIs the way OpenAPI describes request/response APIs. A channel is the named pipe — a webhook URL, a Kafka topic, a WebSocket route, an MQTT subject — that producers and consumers publish or subscribe to. Each channel carries one or more messages with structured payloads, and an operation declares whether a given party sends or receives on that channel.

Browse every event-driven channel on the APIs.io network or compare with the broader Agent Skill and MCP server surfaces of the same providers.
