# NHC Current Active Tropical Cyclones

> NHC Current Active Tropical Cyclones 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 real-time data on all active tropical cyclones from the NOAA National Hurricane Center, including storm name, classification, intensity, pressure, position, movement, and advisory links.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.jobsproperty-api.workers.dev/api/realestate/nhc-current-storms-v2?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.002/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-29
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/nhc-current-active-tropical-cyclones-ad74c4e0
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_jQBzl8eKJVYfW0_5vKppy

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 nhc-current-active-tropical-cyclones-ad74c4e0
```

Example prompt: Are there any active tropical storms or hurricanes right now? Pull the latest data from the National Hurricane Center and tell me each storm's name, category, wind speed, pressure, and current position.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, structured tropical cyclone data directly from the authoritative NOAA National Hurricane Center source without scraping or parsing the NHC website yourself. Ideal for automated weather monitoring agents, emergency alerting systems, or any workflow needing current storm position, intensity, and official advisory links in a single lightweight JSON call. Prefer this over general weather APIs when you specifically need NHC-classified tropical systems with official advisory links.

## Known failure modes

- NHC upstream feed unavailable — may return empty or error response
- No active storms — returns count:0 and empty storms array (not an error)
- Stale data if NHC has not issued a recent advisory update
- Network timeout to Cloudflare Workers endpoint
- Malformed upstream JSON from NHC causing parse failures

## How this service works

Active tropical cyclones from the US National Hurricane Center (NOAA) CurrentStorms.json feed: name, id, classification, intensity (knots), pressure (mb), position, movement and the latest public advisory link. Empty list when no storm is active. Not a real-estate dataset.

## Output

A JSON object containing the total count of active storms, the source URL (NHC CurrentStorms.json), the timestamp of the check, and an array of storm objects. Each storm object includes: storm ID, name, latitude, longitude, last update time, pressure in millibars, advisory URL, intensity in knots, classification code (e.g. HU for hurricane, TS for tropical storm), movement direction in degrees, and movement speed in knots. Returns an empty storms array when no storms are active.
