# Solar Flare Tracker

> Solar Flare Tracker is a paid API for AI agents from x402.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the last 30 days of solar flare events classified by type (A through X), including begin, peak, and end times and the source active region.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://x402.forgemesh.io/solar-flare-tracker
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/solar-flare-tracker-41cd0911
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_GTiiVBdgQeKGWqB8n7DRf

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 solar-flare-tracker-41cd0911 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the solar flare events from the last 30 days and show me any M-class or X-class flares — I need to assess space weather risk for our satellite link planning this week.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need recent historical solar flare data (up to 30 days) with class-level detail and timing for space weather risk assessment, infrastructure monitoring, aviation communications planning, or GPS accuracy analysis. Prefer this over raw NOAA feeds when you need a clean, structured, pay-per-call API with no subscription required.

## Known failure modes

- No flares recorded in the last 30 days returns an empty event list
- Service temporarily unavailable due to upstream space weather data feed outage
- Malformed POST body returns a 400 validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 error

## How this service works

The last 30 days of solar flare events by class (A through X), with begin, peak, and end times and the source active region — the space weather that can disrupt GPS accuracy, satellite links, and power grids. For infrastructure-risk monitoring and aviation or communications planning agents. Refreshed every 3 hours.

## Output

A list of solar flare events over the past 30 days, each with flare classification (A through X), begin time, peak time, end time, and the source active region on the sun. Data is refreshed every 3 hours.
