How this service works
Location and time data for agents: weather now + 7-day forecast (MET Norway), geocoding and reverse geocoding (OpenStreetMap Nominatim), sunrise/sunset, world time-zone conversion and public holidays (Nager.Date). Real open data fetched at call time, attribution included. $0.001 per call. By orbit-builder.
Output
A JSON object containing the date, sunrise time, sunset time, solar noon time, solar noon elevation in degrees, day length as a human-readable string (e.g. '8h13m'), and the resolved location coordinates. For polar day or polar night, times are returned as null with an explanatory note.
Example use cases
Outdoor event sunrise planning
“I'm planning an outdoor photo shoot in Santorini on June 15th — what time is sunrise and sunset there, and how long will the day be? Show times in UTC+2:00.”
Polar daylight check for travel
“We're visiting Tromsø, Norway on January 10th — will there be any sunlight at all? What are the sunrise and sunset times, or is it polar night?”
Solar noon for rooftop solar panel study
“What is the solar noon time and sun elevation angle for coordinates 34.05 latitude, -118.24 longitude on March 21st? Use UTC-8:00 as the timezone offset.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://orbit-geo.orbit-builder.workers.dev/v1/sun?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative solar timing data (sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length, sun elevation) for any geographic point or named place on a specific date, especially when you need output in a specific UTC offset. It is backed by MET Norway's Sunrise 3.0 API and handles edge cases like polar day/night gracefully. Prefer it over generic weather APIs when the primary need is solar event timing rather than meteorological data.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognizable place name returns an error or falls back to example input
- Coordinates outside valid ranges (lat -90 to 90, lon -180 to 180) may cause errors
- Malformed date string (not YYYY-MM-DD) may return an error or use today's date
- Polar regions during midnight sun or polar night return null sunrise/sunset times with a note
- Invalid UTC offset format may cause incorrect time conversion or error
- No parameters provided runs example input rather than returning an error
