# AgentsToolsHub Sun Position

> AgentsToolsHub Sun Position is a paid API for AI agents from agentstoolshub.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Returns the sun's azimuth, elevation angle, cardinal direction, right ascension, and declination for any geographic coordinates at any timestamp using NOAA solar equations.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://agentstoolshub.com/api/v1/geo-time/sun-position?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-31
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/agentstoolshub-sun-position-7f2f2013

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 agentstoolshub-sun-position-7f2f2013
```

Example prompt: What's the sun's azimuth and elevation angle right now at coordinates 37.7749° N, 122.4194° W in San Francisco?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need precise, deterministic solar position data (azimuth, elevation, cardinal direction, RA/Dec) for any coordinates and time — especially for shadow calculations, solar panel orientation, or photography planning. Prefer over general astronomy APIs when NOAA-equation accuracy and low cost per call matter. Use the sibling sunrise/sunset endpoint when you only need daily solar event times rather than instantaneous position.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required lat or lon parameters returns a 400 error
- Invalid ISO timestamp format causes a parsing error
- Coordinates outside valid range (lat -90 to 90, lon -180 to 180) may return an error or undefined behavior
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Where the sun is in the sky right now — or at any timestamp — for any coordinates: azimuth (compass bearing), elevation angle, cardinal direction, right ascension and declination, from the NOAA solar equations. Deterministic astronomy for shadow math, solar-panel orientation and photo planning. Use this when an agent needs to azimuth, altitude and cardinal direction, now or any time.

## Output

Returns the sun's current or historical position including azimuth (compass bearing in degrees), altitude/elevation angle (degrees above or below horizon), cardinal direction (e.g. SW, NNE), right ascension, and declination — all computed deterministically from NOAA solar equations for the given lat/lon and optional timestamp.
