# NASA POWER Climatology Normals Proxy

> NASA POWER Climatology Normals Proxy is a paid API for AI agents from proxy.suverse.io, paid per call via x402, $0.08/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns long-term monthly and annual climate averages (e.g. all-sky solar irradiance) for a given latitude/longitude coordinate using NASA POWER data, requiring no API key.

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-power-climatology-normals-proxy-397f0107 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the NASA POWER long-term monthly and annual climate normals — especially all-sky solar irradiance — for the coordinates 34.05 latitude, -118.25 longitude? I'm evaluating this site for a solar installation.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need long-term historical climate normals (not current or forecast weather) for a specific lat/lng, especially solar irradiance averages for solar siting, agricultural planning, or baseline climate comparisons. It requires no NASA API key, making it ideal for keyless, pay-per-call agent workflows. Prefer this over general weather APIs when multi-year averaged climatological data is needed rather than real-time or short-term forecasts.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid lat/lng coordinates result in an error response
- Coordinates over ocean or polar extremes may return incomplete or no data
- Malformed request body or incorrect bodyType causes a 400-level error
- Upstream NASA POWER service outage may result in a timeout or 502 error
- Exceeding call quota or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 response

## How this service works

Climatology normals for any coordinate from NASA POWER. Get long-term monthly and annual averages (e.g. all-sky solar irradiance) for a single lat/lng. Keyless. Ideal for solar siting, agriculture and baseline climate comparison.

## Output

Returns long-term monthly and annual climatological averages for the requested coordinate, including metrics such as all-sky solar irradiance, derived from multi-year NASA POWER datasets. Data covers each calendar month plus an annual summary.
