This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.
Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema,
apis.json,llms.txtand similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.
- Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email [email protected].
- Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
- Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.
Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.
Not from the company, and here with a question? You are welcome here — we would rather be the front line and point you the right way than have a good report go nowhere. What this repository can answer is narrow, though, so it is worth knowing who you are actually looking for:
- A question about how the API works, an account, billing, or a bug in the service — that is the company's own support, not us. We profile this API; we do not operate it and cannot see your account.
- A bug in an open-source project we only catalog — file it on that project's own repository. This has happened with a real and correct bug report that reached us instead of the people who could fix it, which helped nobody.
- Anything about this listing itself — the description, the tags, the rating, a missing or wrong artifact — is ours. Open an issue here.
- Not sure, or something general about API Evangelist or APIs.io — open an issue on the APIs.io Inbox and we will route it.
This repository contains no software, and we will never ask you to download anything. There is no build, release, installer, or binary here — only text and machine-readable API descriptions, so there is nothing here that can be "corrupt" or need "repairing". Any issue, comment, or email claiming otherwise and offering a download link is not from us and is hostile. Do not follow the link; it is a lure. Report it to GitHub and, if you like, tell us at [email protected] so we can take it down.
On a security or compliance team? Email [email protected] with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.
Full detail: Where this data comes from
VesselFinder is a maritime intelligence company operating a global AIS vessel-tracking network (terrestrial AIS plus satellite AIS) and offering ship positions, voyage history, vessel particulars, port-call events, sea-distance routing, and ocean-container track-and-trace through its developer APIs. The platform pairs a credit-metered AIS REST API (Vessels, PortCalls, ExpectedArrivals, MasterData, Distance, plus subscription feeds VesselsList and LiveData) with a separate Container Tracking API that returns shipment schedules and real-time vessel positions by container number. VesselFinder also runs a public web map, iOS/Android apps, an embeddable map widget, a fleet explorer, and a route planner.

Credit-based and subscription REST API exposing the VesselFinder global AIS network. On-demand methods (Vessels, PortCalls, ExpectedArrivals, MasterData, Distance) deduct credits per call proportional to dataset and source (terrestrial / satellite); fleet-wide (VesselsList) and area-wide (LiveData) feeds are subscription-priced. Authenticates via the userkey query parameter. Responses default to JSON and may be requested as XML.

Real-time ocean-container track-and-trace API. Look up shipments by 11-character container number and optional SCAC carrier code (AUTO to auto-detect). Returns origin, destination, current vessel position, progress, and schedule events. Asynchronous: a first request may return 202 Accepted while data is fetched; clients poll the same URL every 60 seconds or more. Successful responses are cached for 12 hours and lookups for the same container within 30 days are free.
