# GridPulse Power Grid Status API

> GridPulse Power Grid Status API is a paid API for AI agents from gridpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.08/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns real-time power grid status including demand, capacity, grid stress, and generation mix for major US grids (ERCOT, CAISO, PJM).

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://gridpulse.theaslangroupllc.com/api/energy/grid
- Price: $0.08/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/gridpulse-power-grid-status-api-0098894b
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_73gVOgoR7AXh78C7WGJ5z

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 gridpulse-power-grid-status-api-0098894b
```

Example prompt: What's the current grid stress and generation mix on ERCOT right now — is capacity tight or are we well within normal operating range?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time grid health and reliability data — demand vs capacity, stress levels, and generation mix — for major US grids. Ideal for energy traders, grid operators, or agents needing situational awareness before making energy-related decisions. Prefer this over the electricity price forecast endpoint when you need current operational status rather than forward-looking price projections.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported grid identifier returns a 400 error
- Grid operator data feed temporarily unavailable returns a 503
- Payment not fulfilled returns a 402 Payment Required
- Stale data if grid operator API is delayed

## How this service works

Power grid status and reliability — demand, capacity, grid stress, and generation mix for major US grids (ERCOT, CAISO, PJM). For energy-trader and energy agents.

## Output

Returns current demand (MW), total capacity (MW), grid stress indicator, and generation mix breakdown (e.g. percentage from wind, solar, natural gas, nuclear) for the requested US grid (ERCOT, CAISO, or PJM).
