API Reference
Returns the full record for a single port, identified by its WPI ID. The response includes the port's identity and location (name, UN/LOCODE, country, region, coordinates, adjacent waterbody) along with its classification (harbor size, type, use, and degree of shelter). It also contains nested objects describing the port's physical and operational characteristics: depths, maximum vessel dimensions, entrance restrictions, pilotage, tugs, quarantine, communications, facilities, cranes, services, supplies, repair capabilities, and other port features.
