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 info@apievangelist.com.
- 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.
On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com 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
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.
This is a paid, credit-metered API. There is no free-forever tier - only a limited free trial.
- Authentication is required on every call. Register at MyShipTracking.com, generate an API Key and Secret Key on your account page, and pass the key as either
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEYor thex-api-keyheader. - Credit-based billing. Every successful call deducts credits based on the endpoint and response detail. Simple responses cost 1 credit; extended responses cost 3 credits; history and port-call queries cost 5 credits per distinct date. No credits are charged when a request returns no results.
- Per-request cap. You are never charged more than 500 credits for a single request, and never more than your available balance (overuse protection).
- Two account models. A pay-per-use "Coin Charge" model, or a monthly "Subscription" with a fixed monthly credit allowance. Subscription credits do not roll over month to month.
- Free trial. One trial API key per user, limited to 2,000 coins and a maximum active period of 10 days, capped at 90 calls per minute.
- Terrestrial AIS only. Coverage is nearshore; vessels can be out of range for extended periods and historical tracks may be incomplete. Verify coverage against your use case during the trial.
