# Saylor Innovations Data Desk – Atmospheric CO2

> Saylor Innovations Data Desk – Atmospheric CO2 is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-17).

Returns the latest atmospheric CO2 concentration data from NOAA's Mauna Loa observatory, including monthly and weekly ppm readings, year-over-year and ten-year changes, and annual growth rates for the past five years.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://saylorinnovations.com/api/climate/co2?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-17
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/saylor-innovations-data-desk-atmospheric-co2-13cb4ea2
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_guAwauoW4QuAttcZ3gjGv

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-data-desk-atmospheric-co2-13cb4ea2
```

Example prompt: What's the current atmospheric CO2 level from Mauna Loa? I'd like the latest monthly and weekly ppm readings, plus how much it's changed compared to last year and ten years ago.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, up-to-date atmospheric CO2 data sourced directly from NOAA's Mauna Loa observatory — the gold standard for global CO2 monitoring. Prefer it over web scraping or general climate APIs when you need structured ppm readings with historical context (year-over-year, ten-year, and multi-year annual growth) in a single call. Ideal for climate dashboards, environmental reporting, research applications, and monitoring workflows that need reliable, NOAA-attributed data at low cost.

## Known failure modes

- NOAA data feed temporarily unavailable — endpoint may return stale or null values for latest readings
- Network timeout if upstream NOAA source is slow to respond
- Payment not processed correctly via x402 — returns 402 status without data
- Null values for year-over-year or ten-year change if historical comparison data is missing

## How this service works

Atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa from NOAA - latest monthly and weekly ppm, year-over-year and ten-year change and annual growth for the last five years

## Output

A JSON object containing the latest monthly CO2 reading, latest weekly CO2 reading, year-over-year change in ppm, ten-year change in ppm, annual growth ppm values for the last five years, the pre-industrial baseline ppm, the observation station name, and the data source attribution — all sourced from NOAA's Mauna Loa monitoring station.
