# AgentRXI Satellite Imagery

> AgentRXI Satellite Imagery is a paid API for AI agents from agentrxi.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-15).

Returns a NASA satellite image (MODIS/VIIRS true-color or night lights) of any location on any date, ideal for visualizing storms, fires, smoke, snow, and floods.

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 agentrxi-satellite-imagery-94203481
```

Example prompt: Can you pull me a VIIRS satellite image of the Los Angeles area for January 8, 2025 — about 300 km wide — so I can see the extent of the wildfires?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need actual NASA satellite imagery (not maps or aerial photos) for a specific date and location — especially for environmental events like wildfires, floods, hurricanes, snowstorms, or smoke plumes. It's ideal when historical date-specific imagery is needed and when the visual context of a real satellite pass (VIIRS or MODIS) is more useful than a static map tile.

## Known failure modes

- No imagery available for the requested date (cloud cover or data gap) — may return an error or blank image
- Invalid place name that cannot be geocoded — returns an error
- Date out of supported historical range — returns an error
- Size outside 50–2000 km bounds — validation error
- Network timeout fetching NASA tile data

## How this service works

Satellite image of any place on any date from NASA (daily true-color MODIS or VIIRS, or night lights), centered on a place or coordinates with your choice of area size. Good for storms, smoke, fires, snow and floods.

## Output

An image file (likely PNG or JPEG) of the requested satellite view from NASA, showing the specified geographic area on the requested date using the chosen layer (VIIRS, Terra MODIS, Aqua MODIS, or night lights), at the specified resolution and spatial extent.
