# ForgeMesh Squawk Alert Feed

> ForgeMesh Squawk Alert Feed is a paid API for AI agents from anomaly.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a live global sweep of aircraft currently squawking emergency transponder codes (7700, 7600, 7500)

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 forgemesh-squawk-alert-feed-ad685216
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest live squawk alert feed and tell me how many aircraft are currently broadcasting emergency codes — specifically any 7700 emergencies, 7600 radio failures, or 7500 hijack squawks?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time global snapshot of aircraft broadcasting emergency transponder codes (7700, 7600, 7500). Prefer this over general flight tracking APIs when the specific use case is emergency/anomaly detection rather than route or schedule lookups. Ideal for safety monitoring dashboards, aviation incident alerting, or automated anomaly workflows.

## Known failure modes

- No active squawks returns an empty alerts array with zero emergency count
- Service unavailable returns HTTP 402 if payment is missing or insufficient
- Rate limiting may occur if called too frequently without valid payment
- Feed may lag real-time ADS-B data by seconds to minutes depending on upstream sources
- Malformed response if upstream aviation data provider is down

## How this service works

Returns live counts of tracked aircraft, active emergency squawks by type (hijack, radio failure, general emergency), and per-flight position data — monitor global airspace emergencies in real time.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an array of active squawk alerts (each describing an aircraft and its code), a breakdown of alerts grouped by squawk type (7700/7600/7500), the total number of tracked aircraft, and a count of active emergency squawks.
