If your need is expected to be continuous then a subscription based charge is better. If you require data on an ad hoc basis, then an On Demand (Credits) subcription might be more cost-effective.
In order to provide a more cost effective solution, in most of our Data Services (API) we provide the user option to choose between a simple and an extended response (and in some cases also a full response). The difference between the responses is the fields that the call returns in each case. To understand which type of response is more fitting to your needs please visit the Data Services (API) Documentation space to review the fields that are returned in each case.
Yes, as long as the other software supports custom feeds. Check your software documentation for more information. Note that our API can deliver the response in XML, JSON or CSV formats.
A detailed listing of all fields returned is available in the Data Services (API) Documentation
Detailed examples of call request and sample responses per format is available in the Data Services (API) Documentation.
The position data is updated every two minutes. Note that this does not necessarily mean that there will be a new position for each vessel every two minutes.
You can define the request frequency in the next step, prior to creating the API service and determines the cost of the service. If you call the service more frequently than defined, you will receive an empty response.

Once you remove a vessel, you will no longer receive records for that vessel. The cost of the service will remain, since you can add another vessel, up to the maximum size of Fleet, as defined during the activation of the service.
To take full advantage of this service, you will need to extend your Fleet to at least the size you require for the API tracking. Take a look at the Fleet Extension options or our Subscription Plans.
