Introduction to API Calls
Call Format
Each article here shows the format required to construct a valid API call. Taking viewing a port summary as an example, the format of the API call is shown as:
/api/port/<port_id>/summary.<format>?key=<APIkey>
where < > represents the parameters required for the API call. In this specific case, these are:
- the port ID
- the format of the output
- the APIKey
If the API key is abcdefg12345, and you would like to display the port summary for Algiers (port ID = 65) in HTML format, the API call will be:
https://www.findaport.com/api/port/65/summary.html?key=abcdefg12345
This convention is used for all the API calls documented here. For more information, see API Call Format Description
