# Saylor Innovations Active Hurricanes & Tropical Storms

> Saylor Innovations Active Hurricanes & Tropical Storms is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Returns real-time data on all active hurricanes and tropical storms from the NHC, including category, wind speed, pressure, position, movement, and advisory link

## Facts

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 saylor-innovations-active-hurricanes-tropical-storms-3ef263d0
```

Example prompt: Are there any active hurricanes or tropical storms right now? Give me the latest NHC data including their category, wind speeds, pressure, and where they're heading.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need current, real-time NHC tropical storm and hurricane data including position, intensity, movement, and official advisory links — especially for emergency management, travel safety, coastal monitoring, or automated weather dashboards. Prefer this over general weather APIs when NHC-sourced tropical cyclone specifics (Saffir-Simpson category, advisory number, pressure, track) are required.

## Known failure modes

- No active storms returns an empty storms array with active_count of 0 — not an error
- NHC data source temporarily unavailable may return stale or null checked_at timestamp
- Network or upstream NHC feed errors may result in HTTP 5xx responses
- Invalid or malformed request structure may return HTTP 4xx

## How this service works

Active hurricanes and tropical storms - NHC current storms with category, wind, pressure, position, movement and advisory link

## Output

A JSON object containing the total count of active storms, a timestamp of when the check was run, a basins note, the data source attribution, and an array of storm objects — each with name, type, classification, Saffir-Simpson category, latitude, longitude, max wind speed in mph and knots, pressure in mb, movement direction in degrees and speed in knots, advisory number, advisory URL, and last update time.
