Hi Support Team,

I want to get what exactly this means:

The maximum age, in minutes, of the returned positions.
Maximum value for terrestrial coverage is 60.
Maximum value for satellite coverage is 180.

in PS02, i have a fleet with several vessels, are the returned positions the "latest" positions that the system has or if older than 60 (or 180 for Satellite), there will be nothing?

 

Many thanks!

  Dear Sasha,

  Thank you for your comment.

  The maximum age in minutes is referring to the maximum time you would like to look back to return the latest position of a vessel.

  This API is designed to return the most recent positions and to be used to make frequent calls. For instance every 1 hour with timespan 60 minutes, this way you will avoid missing any position which is older than 60 minutes (or 180 minutes).

  Positions older than the aforementioned timespan could be retrieved with the PS01 API service.

  Kind regards,
