[VI03] Port Distance and Routes

routes = api.routes(port_start_id=1, 
                    port_target_id=10, 
                    include_alternatives=True,

Debugging

If you want to debug your code using the data regarding the API call.

# initialize with debug=True
api = MarineTrafficApi(api_key="...", debug=True)

# after every API call the client library will automatically print all the data to standard output
api.routes(...)

# and you can always have all debug data in your code
debug_data = api.request.debug.show()
