# GeopoliticalPulse Instability Signal

> GeopoliticalPulse Instability Signal is a paid API for AI agents from geopoliticalpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-16).

Detects pre-crisis conditions (coups, currency crises, civil unrest) by synthesizing GDELT sentiment, World Bank governance data, and OSINT into an early-warning signal for a given country or region.

## 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 geopoliticalpulse-instability-signal-4f162e6a
```

Example prompt: Give me the instability signal for Nigeria — I want to know if there are any pre-crisis conditions developing right now, especially around coup risk or civil unrest, based on GDELT sentiment and governance indicators.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need early-warning signals before a crisis becomes public news — particularly for coups, currency crises, or civil unrest. It is uniquely valuable over general country-risk endpoints because it synthesizes GDELT real-time sentiment with World Bank governance metrics to detect pre-crisis conditions, not just current risk levels. Prefer this over conflict-mapping or event-assessment endpoints when the goal is forward-looking detection of instability before it breaks.

## Known failure modes

- Country or region not recognized — returns 400 or empty result
- Insufficient GDELT or governance data for small or unrecognized territories
- Stale underlying data if GDELT feeds or World Bank datasets have not refreshed
- Payment not processed — returns 402 if x402 payment header is missing or invalid
- Rate limiting if the endpoint is called too frequently in succession

## How this service works

Real-time geopolitical intelligence for investors, compliance teams, and AI agents.

## Output

An early-warning instability signal for the queried country or region, including a risk score or signal level, classification of the most likely crisis type (coup, currency crisis, civil unrest), contributing indicators from GDELT sentiment and World Bank governance data, and OSINT-derived context on pre-crisis conditions.
