## 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 sitecheck-global-disasters-feed-981a3bfa
```

Example prompt: Show me the latest global disaster events — just earthquakes with orange or red alerts, give me up to 15 results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time global disaster event data sourced from GDACS (UN OCHA / EC JRC) with structured filtering by event type (earthquake, cyclone, flood, volcano, drought, wildfire) and alert severity. Prefer it over general web search when you need machine-readable, structured disaster records with consistent schema across event types.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid type value (not EQ/TC/FL/VO/DR/WF) may return empty results or error
- Invalid alert value (not green/orange/red) may be ignored or cause error
- Limit outside 1-30 range may default to 10 or return an error
- Upstream GDACS source unavailability may cause stale or failed responses
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC balance returns 402 error

## How this service works

Current disaster alerts from GDACS (UN OCHA and EC JRC): type (earthquake, tropical cyclone, flood, volcano, drought, wildfire), name, country, alert level, start date, severity and link. Filter by type and alert level. Attribution: GDACS.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of matching events, the query parameters used, and an array of disaster events each containing an event ID, name, type, alert color (green/orange/red), start timestamp, affected country, and severity description (e.g. magnitude and depth for earthquakes). Also includes the data source attribution (GDACS, UN OCHA, EC JRC) and a checkedAt timestamp.
