Some of the most common reasons for receiving no data/empty responses from your API calls are:
No record in the MarineTraffic database during the defined timespan
- You can try to alter the timespan (be careful not to exceed the upper timespan limit of each API call).
No terrestrial coverage in the area
- The vessel(s) sails in an area with limited coverage from terrestrial AIS-receiving Stations. Consider upgrading your service to also include satellite coverage.
