Datalastic

Datalastic is a maritime data API providing real-time AIS vessel tracking, historical ship movements, vessel specifications, and global port data over a simple REST interface. A database of 750,000+ ships is queryable by MMSI, IMO, or UUID for live position, speed, course, heading, destination, and ETA, plus zone traffic monitoring around any coordinate or port, up to 31 days of historical track per request, vessel and port finder search, and asynchronous bulk reports. Access is subscription-based with a monthly credit model and api-key authentication.

Datalastic publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Historical API, Live Tracking API, Ports API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Vessel Tracking, Maritime, AIS, Ships, and Ports.

Datalastic’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, pricing, engineering blog, and 7 more developer resources.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Datalastic, 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.
