This would be pretty great as an AR app that queried a live shipping map like marinetraffic.com rather than a local SDR for the AIS info.

- thisisit 9y agoI could be wrong but the data on marinetraffic.com only says "tanker" or something of that sort. How does only apply that with this kind of data?
- caf 9y agoThe AIS data is for getting the vessel position and ID / name, the Enigma Public API would still be used to get the cargo details.
- deepskyhacker 9y agoNice idea, but scrapping MarineTraffic.com data is against the terms, according to MarineTraffic.com. They provide a premium API for that. There are very few real-time AIS data sources that are freely available to the public unfortunately.
- KGIII 9y agoI believe LinkedIn just lost a case for trying to disallow that. I'm not sure of the morality of it, but it looks like it is legal to do so.
