It is possible to call the AIS Decoder web service online through a HTTP/JSON-based API.
Do an HTTP POST like this (to
http://ais.tbsalling.dk/decode
) to perform decoding:
POST /decode HTTP/1.1
...
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
...
{"nmea":"!AIVDM,1,1,,A,18UG;P0012G?Uq4EdHa=c;7@051@,0*53"}
which would respond with this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Content-Type: application/json
...
