InteliMaris public API
Ask the water a question. See the answer.
Pick an everyday question, change the details, and watch the answer arrive three ways: the screen it becomes in InteliWaterwayz™, the request our apps send, and the answer the API gives back. No code, no account.
- Public reads need no sign-in
- Plain JSON over HTTPS
- The same API our apps use
- Will my vessel fit? A verdict for the marina and for every berth it has drawn: fits, won’t fit, or unknown where a limit was never stated.
- Where can I stay? Private-dock berths and marinas in one list, checked against your dates and priced for your length.
- Plan my passage A route for this vessel’s draft, with the waits for bridges and how sure it is to clear the shallowest water.
- What’s reported near me? Active reports from other skippers around a position, with how often they’ve been confirmed and when they expire.
- What’s on nearby? Closures, restrictions, regattas, fireworks and races near a place, running now or coming up.
- What’s moving out there? The live AIS picture, asked as a question: which vessels, of what class, how fast and bound where.
- Which marinas are near? Every marina in the directory within a radius of a place, nearest first.
Reading an answer
Honest about what it doesn’t know.
Every answer keeps three promises, in the app and in the API alike. They are why the screens above sometimes say less than you hoped.
Unknown is an answer
Where a marina never stated a limit, “will she fit?” says unknown. It never reads a missing figure as zero, or guesses.
Reports say who reported them
A hazard from another skipper is labelled as a report, confirmed or not, and drawn apart from the chart. Expired reports disappear.
No feed is not no traffic
Live traffic always carries the feed’s own status. If the feed is down, you are told so, never shown an empty harbour.
Building with it
Everything above is one request away.
Copy any request from the explorer and it runs as it is. The live service is filling in around Fort Lauderdale first, so expect fewer results there than in the samples here.
