Do you know of any APIs hosting ship AIS data for free? I did a bunch of digging on this a few years ago and essentially came up empty-handed.

- mik3y 6y agoUnfortunately no, all the feeding sites seem to be commercial operators with little incentive to open the feeds up. I think it would be fun to build something like that though, the AIS equivalent of adsbexchange.com.

- tylerlh 6y agoFor access to more community-driven data out there, check out aishub.net. If you're able to operate a base station and contribute back, you should be able to get what you need.
- mike_d 6y agoYou can trade AIS data with other people. The range is pretty good, but if you want to see anything out in the ocean you need one of the commercial providers who has a feed from a satellite.
