MyShipTracking

MyShipTracking is a real-time terrestrial AIS vessel-tracking platform. Its REST API delivers live vessel positions, voyage and static particulars, vessels within a geographic zone or near a reference ship, historical tracks, port details, port calls, estimated arrivals, and fleet management - all returned in a standardized JSON or XML envelope. Access is credit-metered under monthly subscription plans or a pay-per-use coin model, authenticated with an API key over Bearer or x-api-key.

MyShipTracking publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Account API, Ports API, and Vessels API. Tagged areas include Vessel Tracking, AIS, Maritime, Ship Tracking, and Real-Time Data.

MyShipTracking’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 7 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/myshiptracking: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
