# 2s.io Space Launches

> 2s.io Space Launches is a paid API for AI agents from 2s.io, paid per call via x402, $0.00144/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns upcoming or recent orbital rocket launches with status, timing, provider, rocket, pad, mission, and webcast info from The Space Devs' Launch Library 2

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://2s.io/api/space/launches
- Price: $0.00144/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

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-space-launches-611a65fe
```

Example prompt: What are the next 5 upcoming rocket launches — show me the launch times, status, provider, and whether there's a webcast? Also filter to just SpaceX missions.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time orbital rocket launch data that cannot be sourced from model training — especially for upcoming launch schedules, go/no-go status, live webcast links, or recent launch outcomes. Prefer this over generic web search when structured launch manifest data is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'when' value returns validation error
- Search string with no matches returns empty results list
- Limit exceeding 50 returns schema validation error
- Offset beyond available results returns empty list
- Network timeout or upstream Launch Library 2 API downtime returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Upcoming or recent orbital rocket launches from The Space Devs' Launch Library 2 — the live manifest behind most launch-tracking apps. `when`=upcoming (default) or previous. Optional `search` filters by rocket, provider, or mission text (e.g. "Starship", "SpaceX", "Artemis"). Each launch: name, status (Go/TBD/Success/Failure), NET launch time + window (UTC), launch provider, rocket configuration, pad + location, mission name/type/orbit/description, and whether a webcast is live. Real-time data agents can't get from training. Public CC-BY data (attribute The Space Devs).

## Output

A list of rocket launches (up to 50), each with name, go/TBD/success/failure status, NET launch time and window in UTC, launch provider, rocket configuration, pad name and location, mission name/type/orbit/description, and a flag indicating whether a live webcast is available.
