# 2s.io Earth Now — Earthquakes & Wildfires by Coordinate

> 2s.io Earth Now — Earthquakes & Wildfires by Coordinate is a paid API for AI agents from 2s.io, paid per call via x402, $0.0012/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns recent USGS earthquakes and active NIFC wildfires within a configurable radius of a lat/lon coordinate, sorted by distance nearest-first.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://2s.io/api/earth/now
- Price: $0.0012/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability 2s-io-0c14cf2d
```

Example prompt: What earthquakes magnitude 2.5 or higher and active wildfires are within 300 km of 37.77 latitude, -122.42 longitude in the last 48 hours?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, multi-hazard situational awareness for a specific geographic coordinate — particularly when you want both seismic and wildfire data in a single call with distance-sorted results. Prefer this over scraping USGS or NIFC directly because it synthesizes both sources, computes distances, and sorts results. Best for location-specific safety checks, property risk assessment, field operations, or automated alerting systems.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required lat or lon parameters returns a 400 error
- lat outside -90..90 or lon outside -180..180 returns validation error
- radius_km exceeding 1000 or hours exceeding 168 returns a parameter bounds error
- No events found within radius/timeframe returns empty lists (not an error)
- USGS or NIFC upstream feeds temporarily unavailable may return partial results or 503

## How this service works

Situational awareness for a coordinate: recent earthquakes (USGS) and active wildfires (NIFC) within a configurable radius. Returns each with distance-from-query in km, sorted nearest-first. Multi-source synthesis from free US Government feeds. Real-time, post-training data.

## Output

A structured response containing two lists — recent earthquakes (from USGS) and active wildfires (from NIFC) — each entry including event name/description, distance from the query coordinate in km sorted nearest-first, magnitude (for earthquakes), and timestamp. Data is real-time, sourced from US Government feeds.
