ShipFinder AIS Data API

ShipFinder, operated by Singapore-based ELANE GLOBAL PTE. LTD., publishes a REST/HTTP maritime data API that turns the global AIS feed into queryable vessel intelligence. Forty documented operations are organised into seven datasets: AIS (single, multi and fleet vessel positions, vessel search, vessels nearby, vessels in a zone, flag information), Voyage (port information, currently berthed and anchored vessels, expected arrivals), History (position tracks, ship-to-ship rendezvous, port-call records by vessel and by port), Prediction (point-to-point and port-to-port route planning with deviation-node constraints, and ETA), Meteorology (global tropical cyclones, tide gauge stations, marine weather), China region coastline navigational warnings, and an Event dataset whose fleet, geofence and speed-alert operations drive seven documented webhook push streams. Authentication is a single API key carried as the "key" query parameter (or body property on writes); every response is JSON in a {status, msg, data} envelope where status 0 means success and errors arrive with HTTP 200. ShipFinder publishes per-endpoint OpenAPI 3.0.1 fragments on its documentation host plus an llms.txt index, and several controlled vocabularies (AIS vessel type, navigation status, sea areas, deviation nodes, AtoN types, service return codes).

ShipFinder AIS Data API publishes 12 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including 1 AIS Dataset/1.1 Vessel Position API, 1 AIS Dataset API, 2 Voyage Dataset API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include AIS, Maritime Data, Vessel Tracking, Ship Tracking, and Vessel Data.

The ShipFinder AIS Data API catalog on APIs.io includes 2 event-driven AsyncAPI specifications and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

ShipFinder AIS Data API’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, signup flow, pricing, developer console, and 29 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too

6 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Weather and Climate Data	undeclared	-	-	-
Overture Maps Foundation (members + data contributors)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
