Vesselfinder Rate Limits

VesselFinder uses a credit-based quota model rather than per-second rate limiting on the AIS API. Each call deducts credits proportional to the requested datasets and the position source (terrestrial vs. satellite). The Container Tracking API enforces a per-container subscription quota and queues asynchronous requests with a recommended minimum poll interval of 60 seconds. Public, exact RPS/RPM limits are not published by VesselFinder; the limits below capture the documented quota model and the asynchronous polling guidance.

Vesselfinder Rate Limits is the rate-limit profile for VesselFinder on the APIs.io network.

The provider publishes no rate limits that could be read; the profile records that absence rather than inventing a ceiling.

An exhausted limit returns HTTP 400.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled and quotaExceeded.

Tagged areas include AIS, Rate Limiting, and Credits.
