# ISHOB Weather with Decision Flags

> ISHOB Weather with Decision Flags is a paid API for AI agents from api.ishob.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-14).

Returns current weather and hourly forecast for a lat/lon using MET Norway data, with pre-computed decision flags for drone safety, event risk, rain, frost, and high wind.

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 ishob-weather-with-decision-flags-8847daf8
```

Example prompt: What are the weather conditions and decision flags right now at 59.9139° N, 10.7522° E — specifically whether it's drone-safe, what the event risk level is, and if rain or frost is expected over the next 6 hours?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs not just raw weather data but pre-interpreted decision flags (drone_safe, event_risk, frost_risk, etc.) without having to implement threshold logic itself. Ideal for drone pre-flight checks, outdoor event planning, or field operations automation where a simple go/no-go signal is more useful than raw meteorological data. Backed by MET Norway open data (CC BY 4.0), making it suitable for production use with proper attribution.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or out-of-range lat/lon returns a 400 Bad Request
- Coordinates over ocean or polar regions may have reduced MET Norway coverage
- hours parameter exceeding 48 returns a validation error
- MET Norway upstream outage causes 503 or degraded response
- Flags are heuristic estimates — not certified aviation or safety advice

## How this service works

Current weather and hourly forecast (MET Norway, CC BY 4.0) for a lat/lon, plus decision flags: drone_safe, event_risk (low/moderate/high), rain_expected, frost_risk, high_wind — with the thresholds used. Heuristics, not aviation or safety advice.

## Output

A JSON object containing current weather data (temperature in Celsius, wind speed in m/s), an hourly forecast for the requested window, and boolean/categorical decision flags: drone_safe (boolean), event_risk (low/moderate/high), rain_expected (boolean), frost_risk (boolean), high_wind (boolean), plus the thresholds used to compute each flag and a MET Norway attribution string.
