Spire Maritime announces end of life for the Vessels API from 2023-10-01

Since early 2022, users of Vessels API have been advised to migrate to the Maritime 2.0 Vessels 2.0 GraphQL API.
All product enhancements & bug fixes now only occur in the Maritime 2.0 GraphQL API. There are no reasons to continue to use the Vessels API and customers are now expected to migrate to the newer product.

All clients using the Vessels API available on

https://ais.spire.com/vessels or https://api.sense.spire.com/vessels

are requested to switch to using the Maritime 2.0 Vessels 2.0 GraphQL API by 2023-09-30

From 2023-10-01 the Vessels API will be turned off.

Maritime 2.0 GraphQL API is the future of Vessels Data API Services

Spire Maritime are continually working to improve the performance of our API services and to scale the systems to perform well with the continually growing volumes of data and clients. Maritime 2.0 GraphQL is the API platform that provides stable, scalable, performant vessels data services going forward.

The benefits of the Maritime 2.0 GraphQL API:

Improved scalability & performance of API platform
New more flexible and easy to use APIs using GraphQL.
Improved and more accurate vessel identification mechanism:
Recognizing and resolving where possible duplicate vessels reporting using the same MMSI number.
Recognizing and resolving where possible duplicate vessels reporting using the same IMO number.
Improved Terrestrial AIS with additional data not available in Vessels API
Option to subscribe to real time satellite AIS.
Extended coverage of Vessel Characteristics data, twice as many fields and vessels as reported by EVD data in Vessels API.
Additional feature options:
port, terminal, anchorage and canal events through graphQL query endpoints portEventsByShipType, portEventsByShipVessel or portEventsByShipLocation
Future new features all released through graphQL.

Supporting customer migration
Spire Maritime are happy to offer online technical training in use of the Maritime 2.0 GraphQL API to each client migrating from the Vessels API.

If you think this would be useful then please request such training by emailing sales.engineering@spire.com

In March 2022 we held a webinar demonstrating the differences between the Vessels API and Maritime 2.0 Vessels GraphQL API, and information necessary for customers to migrate from the REST API to Maritime 2.0 Vessels 2.0 GraphQL API.
This webinar is still very relevant and can be found on the link below

Spire Maritime are removing the satellite Name information from Messages API responses by the 1st May 2024.

We are writing to give you notice about the removal of the satellite IDs from the Messages API. Satellite ID values are currently returned as the source value in the AIS message records returned by the Messages API. Satellite ID values will be replaced with the label satellite. 

This is demonstrated in the sample message below from the Messages API. 

This message shows the satellite ID FM88

"data": [
        {
            "id": "5ecad38c-76b1-30a3-9f96-787eaf5d55fe",
            "nmea": "!AIVDM,1,1,,C,Kp15B=@=MpjiUT?t,0*6D",
            "timestamp": "2023-05-08T07:26:57Z",
            "msg_id": "1683530817_538006069",
            "msg_type": 27,
            "created_at": "2023-05-08T10:00:46.468499284Z",
            "mmsi": 538006069,
            "collection_type": "satellite",
            "source": "FM88",
            "flag": "Marshall Is",
            "flag_short_code": "MH",
            "longitude": -69.16833333333334,
            "latitude": 37.885,

The new message format would be

"data": [
        {
            "id": "5ecad38c-76b1-30a3-9f96-787eaf5d55fe",
            "nmea": "!AIVDM,1,1,,C,Kp15B=@=MpjiUT?t,0*6D",
            "timestamp": "2023-05-08T07:26:57Z",
            "msg_id": "1683530817_538006069",
            "msg_type": 27,
            "created_at": "2023-05-08T10:00:46.468499284Z",
            "mmsi": 538006069,
            "collection_type": "satellite",
            "source": "satellite",
            "flag": "Marshall Is",
            "flag_short_code": "MH",
            "longitude": -69.16833333333334,
            "latitude": 37.885,

The source value changing from a satellite ID value FM88 to the label satellite.

The deadline for this change is 1st May 2024

In the coming weeks we will be issuing new tokens to use with the Messages API that hide satellite ID and can be used to test before swapping to the new configuration. Please prepare to make this change as soon as possible and in plenty time to prevent disruption to your data supply. 

In case you would like to discuss how this will impact your service then please reply to this email and we can investigate it further with you

Customer Support
If you have any questions about the change, please reach out to the Spire Technical support team using our Support Portal https://faq.spire.com/support/new or by sending an email to sales.engineering@spire.com
 
Thanks!

Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.
Sep 19, 16:00 UTC
In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
Sep 19, 14:00 UTC
Scheduled - Spire Maritime will perform maintenance on the portEvents APIs.
During the maintenance window there may be a delay or some errors in response to portEvents API requests while the update is deployed.

Sep 18, 14:11 UTC
Resolved - All systems have successfully recovered.
Sep 19, 07:55 UTC
Monitoring - We deployed a mitigation and now see successful requests with very low error rates again.
Sep 19, 05:21 UTC
Identified - We are affected by major incident by our cloud infrastructure service provider. We are still seeing the messages API being mostly affected, but all other services likely also experience elvated error rates.

The TCP feeds seem unaffected, if you can avoid reconnecting that's advisable at this time.

Sep 19, 02:32 UTC
Investigating - We are seeing elevated error rates on messages requests, both through the Maritime 2.0 (GraphQL) and Legacy APIs (REST).
Sep 19, 02:12 UTC
Sep 18, 2023
Resolved - The servicve has been monitored and stable since 06:00 UTC. Dynamic AIS for the period of disruption has been partially loaded but is reduced in volume on normal levels.
Sep 18, 13:46 UTC
Monitoring - Data rates are nominal again, data is sent with the usual latency. We are still monitoring the situation.
Sep 18, 07:27 UTC
Identified - Data is flowing again at a higher volume than usually, as it's catching up with present time. We'll update again once things are back to normal.
Sep 18, 07:12 UTC
Investigating - We are currently seeing lower amount of data from dynamic sources than expected. Otherwise all systems are operating normally: This only affects customers which are subscribed to dynamic data.

In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
Sep 12, 13:01 UTC
Scheduled - As part of our ongoing commitment to provide quality data and superior products, the Spire Maritime Team have scheduled a maintenance cycle for Tuesday, 12 September 2023.

Maintenance Details: Spire Real Time Satellite Scheduled Maintenance Window

Start: Tuesday, 12 September 2023 13:00 UTC

End: Tuesday, 12 September 2023 19:00 UTC

Please note: The full duration of the maintenance window will be Six (6) Hours.

Intermittent periods of short duration loss of Real Time (RT) Satellite data only will occur during the maintenance period. During the 6 hour maintenance window, all services will be intermittently disrupted for all customers. Most of the connectivity disruptions are expected to occur between 13:00UTC-16:00UTC, however, there is a possibility of impact until the work concludes at 19:00UTC

Generation 1 satellite data, Lemur Satellite data, Terrestrial data, and Dynamic data are unaffected by this process.

All account types will remain accessible and operational during this maintenance process.

All reasonable precautions have been taken to prevent additional data loss and minimize the impact to Real Time Satellite services.
