If you have a valid API key, you may try the API by copying the code samples in your shell, your favorite editor, or API development platform. You can naturally use this documentation to try requests in real time.
Please be aware that some endpoints may not work with your API key depending on your service plan.
If you would like a trial key or you want to add additional endpoints to your plan, please get in touch with us.
Authentication
Like almost every API, the Searoutes API requires you to provide an API key in your requests to get responses.
API Key Quick Start
Your API Key can be found in your onboarding email. If you are having issues finding it, shoot us an email [email protected].
Making your first test 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> '
