Trial Key validity

You will be granted a trial key for a limited amount of calls, valid for 7 days.

Avoid disclosing your API key in publicly accessible platforms or through client-side code.

Please be aware that some endpoints may not work with your API key depending on your service plan.

API Key Quick Start

If you're new to our APIs, you'll need a valid API key to get started. If you don't have one yet, signing up will automatically generate a free API key, enabling you to explore our APIs seamlessly.

Locate the login button at the top right corner of the page and authenticate. Once signed-up and logged in, your API key will be located in the header on this page.

Your API key can also be found in the Authorization Header of any documentation page, any time you are logged-in.

If you are having issues finding it, shoot us an email [email protected].

Making your first call

You can make your test cURL call either through the Searoutes API Explorer, which is easiest, or through your command line if you have cURL installed.


When using the command line, your request will look like this

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.searoutes.com/geocoding/v2/port/hamburg' \
  --header 'x-api-key: <your_api_key_here> '
