# NASA EONET Natural Event Categories

> NASA EONET Natural Event Categories is a paid API for AI agents from proxy.suverse.io, paid per call via x402, $0.07/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns the list of natural event categories tracked by NASA EONET (e.g. wildfires, severe storms, volcanoes) with their IDs, titles, and descriptions.

## 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 nasa-eonet-natural-event-categories-506c58b1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are all the natural event categories that NASA EONET tracks — like wildfires, volcanoes, and storms — including their IDs and descriptions?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, no-key reference list of all NASA EONET natural event category IDs and metadata — especially useful for populating filters, building dashboards, or understanding the taxonomy before querying specific events. Prefer this over scraping NASA directly since it requires no API key and is accessible via a simple paid proxy call.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream NASA EONET API unavailability causing proxy to return an error
- Proxy payment not processed correctly resulting in 402 response
- Empty or malformed response if NASA EONET changes its API structure
- Network timeout if the proxy or upstream is slow to respond

## How this service works

The categories of natural events tracked by NASA EONET, no key, such as wildfires, severe storms, and volcanoes. Returns category id, title, and description. For AI agents navigating natural-event data.

## Output

A list of natural event categories from NASA EONET, each containing a category ID, human-readable title, and a description of the event type (e.g. wildfires, severe storms, volcanoes, sea and lake ice, earthquakes, floods, landslides, snow, dust and haze, drought, manmade events).
