How this service works
Chance of seeing aurora at a latitude and longitude right now, from NOAA's OVATION model, with the Kp index.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the aurora probability as a percentage, a human-readable verdict (e.g. 'likely', 'possible', 'unlikely'), a summary explanation, the latest Kp index, the nearest OVATION model grid cell coordinates, thresholds for faint/possible/likely visibility, the data timestamp, source URL, and any degraded-data flags or disclaimers.
Example use cases
Aurora chasing trip decision
“I'm in Tromsø, Norway right now at latitude 69.6, longitude 18.9 — what's the current chance of seeing the northern lights according to NOAA's aurora model?”
Backyard stargazing aurora check
“Can you check the aurora probability for my backyard in Fairbanks, Alaska — that's roughly latitude 64.8, longitude -147.7 — and tell me if it's worth going outside tonight?”
Southern lights visibility from Patagonia
“What are the odds of seeing the southern lights from Ushuaia, Argentina right now? The coordinates are latitude -54.8, longitude -68.3.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://space-weather.x402tookit.com/aurora-chance?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a real-time, location-specific aurora probability derived from NOAA's OVATION model with an accompanying Kp index — rather than a general geomagnetic storm forecast or a multi-day outlook. It is ideal when you have a precise latitude/longitude and want an immediate go/no-go verdict for aurora viewing at that exact spot.
Side effects
- Missing lat/lon query parameters returns a validation error
- Coordinates out of range (-90 to 90 lat, -180 to 180 lon) may return an error or null results
- NOAA OVATION model data temporarily unavailable returns degraded=true with partial or null fields
- Network timeout or upstream NOAA API outage returns a service error
- Polar coordinates very close to the poles may have sparse grid cell coverage
