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> '
