# ISS Current Location via SiteCheck Jobs & Property

> ISS Current Location via SiteCheck Jobs & Property is a paid API for AI agents from api.jobsproperty-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Returns the real-time position of the International Space Station including latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, and daylight visibility, cached at 30-second intervals.

## Facts

- Price: $0.002/call
- Payment: x402

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 iss-current-location-via-sitecheck-jobs-property-b69745bb
```

Example prompt: Where is the International Space Station right now? Give me its current latitude, longitude, altitude, and speed, and tell me if it's currently in daylight.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, no-parameter lookup of the ISS's current position with minimal setup. It proxies the trusted wheretheiss.at data source and adds a 30-second cache for reliability. Prefer it over direct NORAD or NASA APIs when you want a simple JSON response without authentication or complex query parameters.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream wheretheiss.at API unavailable — cached or stale data may be returned
- Network timeout on the Workers.dev proxy — HTTP 5xx response
- Stale data up to 30 seconds old due to caching window
- Unexpected schema changes from upstream provider

## How this service works

Live position of the International Space Station from wheretheiss.at: latitude, longitude, altitude (km), speed (km/h), and whether it is over daylight. Updates roughly every second on the source; the answer is cached 30 seconds. Not a real-estate dataset.

## Output

A JSON object with the ISS name, NORAD ID (25544), source URL (wheretheiss.at), current latitude and longitude in decimal degrees, altitude in km, velocity in km/h, visibility status ('daylight' or 'eclipsed'), observation timestamp, and check timestamp. Data is cached for up to 30 seconds.
