Agricultural Region Drought & Crop Stress Gauge
x402
Agricultural Region Drought & Crop Stress Gauge is a paid API for AI agents from aeml-x402.zeabur.app, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).
Returns a three-leg agricultural risk snapshot for a given region: soil drought severity (USDM D0–D4), heat stress / growing degree days (GDD), and crop vegetation health index (VHI), plus a cross-validated narrative on whether drought conditions have propagated to crop stress.

How this service works
[3-LEG] Agriculture chain, one grain belt (?loc=us-iowa): leading soil drought (USDM D0-D4) -> current heat stress and growing degree days -> realized crop vigour VHI - did the drought actually reach the crop (confirmation gate). A sequential chain, not one reading - confidence = how many legs are lit, in order. Sources: USDM/NDMC, NASA POWER, NOAA STAR. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed.
Output
A JSON object with: a 'legs' object containing signal readings for drought (USDM D0–D4), heat stress/GDD, and crop VHI — each with current value, observed timestamp, data age, and a verifiable record hash; a cross_line_narrative prose summary describing whether drought stress has translated to crop damage; provenance metadata (data lineage, freshness status, official sources); a _citation object with an Ed25519-signed, offline-verifiable claim; decision_points listing swappable parameters; and honest scope/grade disclosures indicating this is screening-level observational data, not a forecast or decision-grade advisory.
Example use cases
Corn Belt harvest risk assessment
“Give me the full agricultural stress picture for us-iowa right now — drought severity, heat stress, crop VHI, and whether conditions have degraded enough to hurt yield.”
Supply chain crop disruption monitoring
“Check the drought and crop health indicators for us-kansas — I need to know if the dry spell there has crossed into actual crop damage territory based on the vegetation health index.”
Agri-lending regional risk screening
“I need a screening-level read on agricultural conditions in us-california-central-valley — pull the drought classification, growing degree days, and crop vigor index so I can flag any stress signals.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://aeml-x402.zeabur.app/gauge/agri-regionWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a multi-dimensional, cross-validated agricultural stress picture for a US farming region in a single call — combining USDM drought severity, heat/GDD, and satellite-derived crop VHI with a narrative synthesis. Prefer it over single-signal APIs when you need to know not just whether drought exists, but whether it has propagated to measurable crop damage. Especially valuable for agri-risk screening, supply chain disruption monitoring, or lending/insurance workflows where verifiable, traceable data provenance (ERA5 + NOAA, Ed25519-signed citations) matters. Not a forecast or yield prediction tool — use for observational screening only.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid loc parameter returns an error — loc must be a recognized region code like us-iowa
- Data staleness: some source legs (e.g. USDM monthly updates) may report as 'stale' if official source cadence has not refreshed
- Unknown or unsupported region codes will return no data or an error response
- Payment failure or expired x402 receipt results in 402 response blocking data delivery
- One or more legs may be unavailable if upstream ERA5 or NOAA satellite feeds are delayed
