RNLI Web API

Use this web api to get information on RNLI launches.

Example url: /api/launches

Add a callback query string parameter to get back JSONP e.g. /api/launches?callback=someFunction

One can receive a specified number of most recent launches by specifying the numberOfShouts parameter:

/api/launches?numberOfShouts=10

Only numbers between 1 and 50 (inclusive) are allowed.

Please be informed

The RNLI Data teams are currently upgrading our API offering to a new platform. This therefore means that this API endpoint will be deprecated in place for another. Details will follow on this site of the cutover dates and a URL embedded here to point users to the new endpoint. Thank you
