# ClimatePulse Air Quality Index (AQI) & Health Guidance

> ClimatePulse Air Quality Index (AQI) & Health Guidance is a paid API for AI agents from climatepulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns real-time AQI with PM2.5, PM10, and ozone breakdown plus activity and health guidance tailored by population group (asthma, COPD, heart disease, pregnancy, children)

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://climatepulse.theaslangroupllc.com/api/climate/air
- Price: $0.05/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/climatepulse-air-quality-index-aqi-health-guidance-109e1981

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 climatepulse-air-quality-index-aqi-health-guidance-109e1981
```

Example prompt: What's the air quality like right now in Denver? I have asthma — is it safe to go for a run outside, and do I need an N95?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs real-time AQI data with health-specific guidance, especially when the user has a medical condition (asthma, COPD, heart disease, pregnancy) or is asking about outdoor activity safety for vulnerable groups like children. Prefer over generic weather endpoints when the specific concern is air pollution, particulate matter, or ozone rather than temperature or precipitation.

## Known failure modes

- Location not found or unresolvable — returns error with no AQI data
- Air quality sensor data unavailable for requested location — returns null or estimated fallback
- Invalid parameter format (e.g. malformed coordinates) — returns 400 bad request
- Service temporarily unavailable — returns 503

## How this service works

Is it safe to exercise outside today? Real-time AQI with primary-pollutant breakdown (PM2.5, PM10, ozone), activity guidance by population group, N95/air-purifier recommendations, and condition-specific guidance for asthma, COPD, heart disease, pregnancy, and kids.

## Output

Returns the current AQI score and primary pollutant (PM2.5, PM10, or ozone) with concentration levels, a go/no-go outdoor activity recommendation, N95 and air purifier recommendations, and tailored health guidance for specific conditions including asthma, COPD, heart disease, pregnancy, and children.
