How this service works
SYNTHORA chokepoint-transits: daily vessel transits through the 28 global maritime chokepoints (Hormuz, Suez, Panama, Bab el-Mandeb, Malacca...). Latest settled day, 7d moving average, deviation vs 30d baseline, per-vessel-type breakdown (a tanker-only drop at Hormuz is the tradeable signal) and anomaly flag. Source: IMF PortWatch (satellite AIS) — the canonical resolution source of Polymarket chokepoint markets. Free, no key.
Output
Returns for the specified chokepoint(s): the latest settled day's transit count, 7-day moving average, deviation versus the 30-day baseline, a per-vessel-type breakdown (tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, etc.), and a boolean anomaly flag indicating statistically significant deviations. Data is sourced from IMF PortWatch satellite AIS feeds.
Example use cases
Polymarket chokepoint market research
“I'm trading the Polymarket Hormuz tanker transit market — can you get me today's settled transit counts with the tanker-only breakdown and any anomaly flags so I know how the market is likely to resolve?”
Oil supply disruption early warning
“Check if there's been any unusual drop in tanker traffic through Hormuz or Bab el-Mandeb in the last few days compared to the 30-day baseline — I'm looking for early signs of an oil supply disruption.”
Panama Canal congestion monitoring
“What's the current daily vessel transit count through the Panama Canal, and how does it compare to the 7-day moving average and 30-day baseline? Flag any anomalies you see.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.hergertsynthora.com/v1/chokepoint-transitsWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need canonical, satellite-verified vessel transit data for global maritime chokepoints that directly matches the resolution methodology used by Polymarket chokepoint prediction markets. It is ideal for traders needing tradeable signals (especially tanker-only breakdowns at Hormuz), supply-chain analysts monitoring shipping disruptions, and automated agents that need anomaly detection baked in rather than computing it themselves. Prefer this over generic AIS providers when IMF PortWatch provenance and Polymarket compatibility are required.
Side effects
- Chokepoint name not recognized — returns error if an invalid or unsupported chokepoint identifier is provided
- Data lag — satellite AIS settlement may be delayed by 24-48 hours, so the most recent day may not yet be available
- Payment failure — x402 micropayment not completed results in 402 response with no data
- Malformed input string — free-text input field parsed incorrectly if chokepoint name is ambiguous or misspelled
- Baseline unavailable — 30-day deviation cannot be computed if fewer than 30 days of data exist for a newly tracked chokepoint
