# NASA FIRMS Wildfire & Thermal Anomaly Detection API

> NASA FIRMS Wildfire & Thermal Anomaly Detection API is a paid API for AI agents from coinrailz.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns real-time wildfire and thermal anomaly alerts sourced from NASA FIRMS satellite data

## Facts

- Price: $0.05/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15

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 nasa-firms-wildfire-thermal-anomaly-detection-api-deb2e40f
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest NASA satellite fire alerts right now for my agent ID 'agent-007' so I can see if there are any active wildfires or thermal anomalies being detected?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time satellite-based wildfire or thermal anomaly detection data sourced from NASA FIRMS, particularly in automated agent workflows that require up-to-the-minute fire monitoring without manually querying NASA directly. Best for agents that need programmatic, pay-per-call access to fire alert data.

## Known failure modes

- Missing agentId returns 400 validation error
- Invalid agentId format may return authentication failure
- Service unavailable returns 503 with no fire data
- NASA FIRMS upstream outage may result in stale or empty data
- Payment of $0.05 USDC not fulfilled returns 402 Payment Required
