How this service works
Search vessels by identity, location, or both. Charged per non-empty result: empty array, 400, 500, 503 settle nothing.
Output
An array of vessel records matching the query filters, each containing vessel identity fields (name, IMO, MMSI) and current or last-known position data (latitude, longitude). Returns an empty array if no matches are found. Charges apply only when the result array is non-empty.
Example use cases
Identify ship by IMO number
“Look up the vessel with IMO number 9074729 and tell me its current name and position.”
Find vessels in port area
“Search for all ships currently within the bounding box around the Port of Rotterdam — roughly lat 51.88 to 51.93, lon 4.0 to 4.1 — and list what you find.”
Locate vessel by MMSI
“I need to find the ship with MMSI 366123456 — can you pull up whatever identity and location data is available for it?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.generalrelay.xyz/v1/vesselsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to search maritime vessel data by identity (name, IMO, MMSI) or by geographic area (bounding box up to 5°×5° or radius). Prefer it for agent workflows that need to resolve a vessel identifier to current position, or enumerate vessels in a specific maritime zone. Note that charges only apply on non-empty results, making it safe to probe.
Side effects
- 400 Bad Request: invalid parameter values (e.g. lat/lon out of range, bounding box span exceeds 5°, malformed MMSI)
- 500 Internal Server Error: server-side failure, no charge applied
- 503 Service Unavailable: service temporarily down, no charge applied
- Empty array returned when no vessels match the filters — no charge applied
- Missing required query filter — must supply at least one of name, IMO, MMSI, or spatial parameters
