How this service works
Official public data as JSON. Unpaid paid routes return HTTP 402.
Output
A JSON object containing the current week identifier, publication date, source URL, and an array of notices — each with the notice text, waterway name, section type (e.g. Federal Discrepancies), and a link to the source PDF. Also includes normalized records with unique IDs, dates, and record type for downstream processing.
Example use cases
Vessel route safety check
“Before we depart, can you check the USCG District 8 Local Notices to Mariners for any navigation hazards, destroyed lights, or waterway discrepancies along our planned Gulf Coast route this week?”
Weekly maritime monitoring alert
“Every week, pull the latest USCG District 8 LNM notices and let me know if any new navigational aids are out of service or if there are structural discrepancies I should flag for our fleet operations team.”
Marine infrastructure research
“I need to look up this week's USCG District 8 local notices to mariners to compile a list of all reported navigation aid failures and waterway disruptions — can you fetch that structured data for me?”
