# RunwayOracle LAX Edge — KLAX Runway Temperature Nowcast

> RunwayOracle LAX Edge — KLAX Runway Temperature Nowcast is a paid API for AI agents from runwayoracle.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns a calibrated runway-surface temperature nowcast for Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) with optional strike probability estimates, using live 3-hour thermal-memory telemetry.

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 runwayoracle-lax-edge-klax-runway-temperature-nowcast-fd51f9d2
```

Example prompt: What's the current runway surface temperature nowcast at LAX, and what's the probability it's above 85°F right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a high-accuracy, real-time pavement/runway surface temperature estimate specifically for KLAX (Los Angeles International Airport), especially when you need calibrated probabilistic strike thresholds for weather derivatives, aviation operations, or runway condition monitoring. Prefer the premium tier ($0.05) when RMSE accuracy matters; fall back to degraded tier ($0.01) when cost is the priority and lower precision is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Telemetry outage: live 3h thermal-memory feed unavailable, response may fall back to degraded $0.01 tier with RMSE 2.57°F
- Invalid strikeF parameter: value outside -80..140°F range returns validation error
- Payment failure: x402 micropayment not processed, request rejected
- Station data unavailable: KLAX ASOS/AWOS feed temporarily down
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on payment facilitator

## How this service works

Los Angeles weather forecast API: live temperature nowcast and daily high forecast for Los Angeles Intl (KLAX), with calibrated probability the temperature ends above/below any Fahrenheit strike. KLAX is the official settlement station for Kalshi KXHIGHLAX and Polymarket Los Angeles daily high temperature prediction markets. Built for AI agents trading weather prediction markets or needing real-time weather data. $0.05 with live 3h thermal-memory telemetry (out-of-sample nowcast RMSE 0.99F); $0.01 degraded fallback (RMSE 3.48F). Free catalog: https://runwayoracle.com/catalog.json. Model-conditional estimates; not financial advice.

## Output

Returns a real-time runway surface temperature nowcast for KLAX (Los Angeles International) powered by 3-hour thermal-memory telemetry (OOS RMSE 1.21°F in premium tier). If a strike temperature was provided, also returns calibrated P(above) and P(below) probabilities. Includes model confidence tier and telemetry freshness metadata. A degraded fallback (RMSE 2.57°F) is available at $0.01 if live telemetry is unavailable.
