description: Kpler is a commodities intelligence and maritime data platform that tracks cargoes, vessels, and trade flows
  across oil, refined products, LNG, LPG, and dry bulk markets. Kpler owns MarineTraffic and FleetMon (acquired 2023) and
  acquired Spire's maritime AIS business (2025), giving it one of the largest terrestrial and satellite AIS vessel tracking
  networks in the world. Its Direct Access REST APIs deliver trades, flows, vessels, port calls, freight metrics, and inventories
  per commodity platform, while MarineTraffic APIs deliver live vessel positions, port calls, voyages, and vessel particulars.
  API access is customer-gated behind an enterprise subscription, but the documentation, Python SDK, and endpoint surface
  are publicly published.
