Hello,

I'am just trying API historical position for the first time and i got the error: "ERROR_5a2-INSUFFICIENT CREDITS". Before to buy the sufficient credit, i tryed to reduce the cost and the records with the period parameter.

According with the technical documentation, the "period" parameter is omit by default, so i suppose i have position every 2 minutes?, but this parameter also can be "daily" or "hourly"

In order to reduce the credit, i entered the string hourly in the period parameter but the required credits is the same.... Same also if i use daily for period parameter.

Please what is the correct string to use for period parameter?

Thanks in advance for your help

  Hello Dominique,

  Thanks for reaching out.

  I can see that in your calls you didn't specify the version of the API service. Currently, the latest version is number 3 and for that version we offer daily, hourly and all positions. In your call, since you didn't specify any version, number 1 was used - as it is the default one.

  Please make changes to your calls and you will be able to receive hourly positions. Add parameter v and value 3 - v:3  Also, you can use - period:hourly to get the hourly position.
  On this link you can see the technical documentation that you can use for more information - https://servicedocs.marinetraffic.com/tag/Vessel-Historical-Track/#operation/exportvesseltrack

  Hello Tatianna

  Thanks for your prompt reply and the the right diagnosis of my problem.......

  I stayed stupidly on version 1 without trying version 3 when I had the technical documentation before my eyes!.....

  Everything works well now

  Thanks you again for your help,

  Best regards

  Dominique
