# Atmospheric CO2 Concentration (Mauna Loa / NOAA)

> Atmospheric CO2 Concentration (Mauna Loa / NOAA) is a paid API for AI agents from api.vextorium.com, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Returns the latest atmospheric CO2 concentration measured at Mauna Loa, including monthly ppm, annual change, comparison with 10 years ago and with 1958, and a recent time series.

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 atmospheric-co2-concentration-mauna-loa-noaa-cebe1507 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the latest atmospheric CO2 concentration from Mauna Loa? Give me the current ppm, how much it's changed in the past year, how it compares to 10 years ago, and show me the last 12 months of data.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, NOAA-sourced atmospheric CO2 data from the Mauna Loa Observatory — the gold standard long-running CO2 measurement record. It is ideal for climate dashboards, environmental reports, or any agent task requiring current ppm, multi-year comparison, or trend series without scraping NOAA directly. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, numeric CO2 data with historical context.

## Known failure modes

- NOAA data source temporarily unavailable — upstream fetch may fail
- Invalid 'meses' value (e.g. non-integer or negative) may return an error or empty series
- If the latest monthly data has not yet been published by NOAA, the most recent entry may be null
- Network timeout if the upstream NOAA endpoint is slow

## How this service works

Atmospheric CO2 concentration measured at Mauna Loa (NOAA): latest monthly ppm, yearly change, comparison with 10 years ago and with 1958, and the recent series.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the latest monthly CO2 measurement (period label and ppm, including seasonally adjusted value), the year-over-year change in ppm, the CO2 level from 10 years ago, the first recorded measurement (circa 1958), a recent time series of monthly ppm values (length controlled by the 'meses' parameter), and the NOAA data source attribution.
