What is Ship Historical Data API?
Search past data on your selected ships with historical data API endpoint by Datalastic.
Define your vessel’s IMO or MMSI number and simply add it to the request. You can find the historical API request in the API References.
Run your query and see all the data on your ship fleet retrieved directly from the Datalastic datacenter.
The historical data is avaliable directly based on AIS data feed that we process analyze and safe for each vessel in the world.
How to Use Ship Historical Data API?
You can filter the historical date range for the vessel you want to see past AIS data in multiple ways.
1. Ship Historical data without a date range
Simply use the query to call the historical data API endpoint and retrieve the latest data on the ship vessel.
2. Specify the number of days in your historical data query.
Add parameters Days and specify how many days from today you would like to search the vessel information for. For example, days=5 will give you all the data on your vessel from today to 5 days ago.
3. Define a specific date range in your historical data API request
Create a custom date range “from” and “to” to see the vessel data in your selected date range. For example, from 1st until 30th September.


Database Requests Usage in Historical Vessel Data API
Ship Historical Data for 1 day (24h) is calculated as 1 request to the Datalastic database. Imagine, you have requested 10 days of historical information for 10 ships. By calling that to our database you will spend 100 requests from your total monthly package, depending on your subscription level.
Datalastic searches data on vessels and ports and provides an API service and focuses on delivering the best experience in that niche.
Keeping sharp and focused on the product helps us achieve one of the biggest databases about vessels and ports in the world.
Past AIS Data API Overuse Protection
All Datalastic plans and endpoints contain database Overuse Protection for our users. Each user gets a request package or a total number of requests to the database that you can do during your billing month.
Often by human mistake or some other bug in the query, you may call the MMSI number of the ship that does not exist. There might be some other issue why maritime data is missing.
If you call our API and no data is avaliable either because of the mistake in the query or some other reason, we do not deduct any points from your request package.
With that you pay only for the real data that you see.
You are free to cancel your maritime API subscription any time you wish in case you don’t like the AIS data by Datalastic.
