Is it possible to get a ship (tanker) positioning using RDP?

I am checking if the RDP Service can get some information about ships:

- location

- information (type, velocity)

- status

- arrival / departure dates

These data are available through Eikon, but it would be better to use an API for using on a system. RDP looks like the best API option, but when investigating the Postman files or the playground, I didn't find a suitable API call.

Is there anybody that can help me with this issue? Thanks

    Hello @henrique.hissataka,

    If you are permissioned for service Search on RDP, on API Playground, you can review all the information available for the vessel info access via RDP. To me, detailed vessel Information, status and dates appear to be included, while location info, in my understanding, is indirect. Let me just go over usage:

    /search/beta1/

    And by modifying the parameters, one can get default vessel info via:

    {   "View": "VesselPhysicalAssets",   "Query": "9398101", } 

    Next, we would like to know what other fields of interest are available, and can be requested ( may not be populated, via metadata endpoint:

    /search/beta1/metadata/views/{view}

    I just requested the specific vessel info

    Hope this is of help
