# EONET Open Natural Events Feed

> EONET Open Natural Events Feed is a paid API for AI agents from x402.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns currently open natural disaster events worldwide (wildfires, storms, volcanoes, floods, sea ice, etc.) as structured JSON from NASA EONET, with optional category filter and result limit.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://x402.forgemesh.io/eonet-events
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/eonet-open-natural-events-feed-a99a4078
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_GeFGrB4DkuNVe7ggFTIvC

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 eonet-open-natural-events-feed-a99a4078 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me all currently open natural disaster events worldwide — especially any active wildfires and severe storms — and limit it to the top 30 most recent.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need global natural hazard event coverage across multiple categories (wildfires, storms, volcanoes, floods, sea ice, etc.) and require structured coordinates and metadata. Use this over US-only alert feeds when international coverage is needed. Ideal for disaster-monitoring, logistics-rerouting, or situational-awareness agents that need a single feed of all open events rather than category-specific alerts.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid category string returns an error or empty results — must match one of the 13 defined enum values
- Upstream NASA EONET API downtime causes service unavailability
- limit parameter must be a string-encoded integer; non-numeric values may cause errors
- No events returned if no open events exist in the requested category at query time
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks access with 402 response

## How this service works

Currently open natural events worldwide — wildfires, severe storms, volcanic activity, sea and lake ice, floods — as structured JSON with event title, category, coordinates, and date. Global coverage complementing US-only alert feeds. Optional category filter and result limit. For disaster-monitoring, logistics-rerouting, and situational-awareness agents. Refreshed every 10 minutes.

## Output

A structured JSON array of currently open natural events from NASA EONET, each containing an event title, category (e.g. wildfires, floods, volcanoes), geographic coordinates, and event date. Refreshed every 10 minutes and covers global events across up to 13 hazard categories.
