# war-tracker.com Vessel Latest AIS Position

> war-tracker.com Vessel Latest AIS Position is a paid API for AI agents from war-tracker.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Returns the most recent AIS position fix for a single vessel identified by IMO number, including lat/lon, speed, course, destination string, and data age.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability war-tracker-com-e952b779
```

Example prompt: Where is the vessel with IMO number 9281554 right now — what are its coordinates, speed, and heading, and how fresh is that AIS data?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the single most recent position snapshot for one specific vessel identified by IMO number and want low-latency, point-in-time data including speed, course, and destination. Prefer this over the track/polyline endpoint when you only need the latest fix rather than a historical path, and over the identity endpoint when you need positional rather than identity data.

## Known failure modes

- IMO number not found in database — vessel may not be tracked
- AIS data is stale (large age_seconds) if vessel is out of satellite/terrestrial coverage
- null values for sog/cog/destination if vessel did not broadcast those fields
- Rate limiting or payment failure for training-crawler user agents
- Vessel may have entered a port or dark zone with no recent pings

## How this service works

War-Tracker is a live war tracker map showing real-time military strikes and conflict events worldwide. Unbiased, uncensored OSINT: track Ukraine, Middle East, and global conflicts with video evidence as they happen.

## Output

A JSON object with the vessel's ship_id, latest latitude and longitude in WGS84, speed over ground in knots (sog), course over ground in degrees true (cog), the operator-entered AIS destination string, the UTC timestamp of capture (captured_utc), and age_seconds since the ping was received. Fields sog, cog, imo, and destination may be null if not broadcast.
