Terms of Use
- Every AISHub contributor is required to provide at least one raw AIS feed in NMEA format. Additional AIS sources are highly appreciated.
- Contributors who apply for API access to the aggregated AISHub feed must meet the following quality requirements for their AIS data feed:
- Coverage of at least 10 vessels (average over the last 7 days)
- At least 90% uptime (average over the last 7 days)
- Maximum downsampling rate of 60 seconds
- Maximum delay of 10 seconds for AIS messages
- The following AIS feeds are strictly prohibited:
- Synthesized or artificially generated NMEA data
- Scraped or stolen data
- Data from publicly available AIS sources or services
- All contributors are allowed to use the aggregated data for free.
- AISHub is NOT RESPONSIBLE for any losses caused by technical failures or low-quality data feeds.
After receiving your application, we will send you a dedicated UDP port via email, allowing you to stream your AIS data in raw NMEA format.
Once you begin streaming and notify us by email, we will create your AISHub account, granting you access to:
- Web-based real-time monitoring of your AIS feed
- Automatic email notifications if your feed is offline for more than 6 hours
- A personal API key (provided your feed meets the quality requirements)
