ShipsDNA API
Maritime data delivery with controls built in
Select approved data resources, create scoped credentials and monitor account-wide usage from the protected ShipsDNA Developer Console.
Published catalogue
Ten approved generic resources
API packages are billed separately from the portal subscription. Resource access, quotas and commercial terms are shown from the approved catalogue during the account journey.
Automatic public API trials are not currently offered. Qualified evaluation requests are reviewed by the ShipsDNA team, and no live credential is displayed on this public website.

Developer experience
Self-service without surrendering governance
The console supports key lifecycle, endpoint entitlements and non-sensitive usage outcomes while keeping full secrets, customer data and internal resources out of browser storage and logs.
Resource entitlements
Each account sees only the generic resources included in its approved API package.
Usage monitoring
Track returned-record usage across all keys on the same account against UTC calendar-month allowances.
Clear failures
Safe authentication, authorization and quota responses without revealing account details.
Existing-client continuity
Negotiated integrations and legacy client keys remain separate and are not silently migrated.
Commercial flexibility
Choose individual resources or approved bundles, with Enterprise treatment for bespoke requirements.
Catalogue boundary
Generic self-service resources only
The public catalogue excludes restricted ownership, class-society and engine datasets, sample views, bespoke feeds and client-specific resources unless separately approved for commercial self-service.
