How this service works
Daily soil moisture percentage relative to holding capacity at 0-10cm depth | ERROR: Unable to calculate price.
Output
Returns a time series of daily soil moisture values expressed as a percentage relative to field water holding capacity at the 0–10 cm depth layer, indexed by date and geographic coordinate. Multiple locations can be queried simultaneously, and results are returned in JSON format.
Example use cases
Irrigation scheduling for a crop farm
“I need soil moisture readings for my cornfield at lat 41.8781, lon -87.6298 from July 1 to July 15, 2025 — can you check if the soil moisture relative to holding capacity has been dropping low enough to trigger irrigation?”
Multi-site soil monitoring for a precision ag platform
“Get me daily soil moisture data for three of our test plots — coordinates 37.7575/-122.4262, 42.3535/-71.0605, and 29.9799/-90.0744 — from May 1 to May 31, 2025, all in the America/Chicago timezone.”
Post-drought soil recovery tracking
“Can you retrieve the daily soil moisture percentage at 0-10cm for the coordinates 35.2271, -80.8431 from January 1 to March 31, 2025 so I can see how the soil recovered after the winter drought?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.orthogonal.com/precip/api/v1/soil-moisture-dailyWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need soil moisture data specifically at the shallow 0–10 cm depth layer on a daily granularity for one or more precise lat/lon points. It is ideal for agricultural planning, irrigation scheduling, and environmental monitoring workflows where volumetric or relative soil wetness is required. Prefer this over general weather APIs that only provide precipitation data but not actual soil moisture content.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid latitude/longitude coordinates returns an error
- Date range outside available data coverage returns empty or partial results
- Malformed date format (non-ISO) may cause a parsing error
- Unsupported timeZoneId string may cause incorrect date alignment or an error
- Requesting too many coordinate pairs simultaneously may degrade response or fail
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) results in HTTP 402 and no data returned
