AISHub

AISHub is a cooperative AIS (Automatic Identification System) data sharing network for vessel tracking. Members who contribute a raw NMEA AIS feed from their own receiver (via UDP) get free access in return - a real-time aggregated feed from 1,500+ stations across 80 countries, plus an HTTP web service that returns vessel positions and station metadata as XML, JSON, or CSV. There is no pay-for-access tier; API credentials are earned by sharing a feed that meets coverage and uptime quality thresholds.

AISHub publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Stations API and Vessel Positions API. Tagged areas include Vessel Tracking, Maritime, AIS, Shipping, and Geospatial.

AISHub’s developer surface includes documentation, signup flow, and 7 more developer resources.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of AISHub, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
