Space Weather Intelligence – Current Conditions
x402
Space Weather Intelligence – Current Conditions is a paid API for AI agents from space-weather.use.x402atlas.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).
Returns real-time normalized NOAA SWPC space weather data including Kp index, solar wind plasma, magnetic field, and X-ray flux for solar flare and geomagnetic storm monitoring.

How this service works
Current space-weather conditions — normalized NOAA SWPC Kp, solar wind, magnetic field, and X-ray flux used for solar-flare monitoring, with observation times and freshness.
Output
Returns a JSON object with current normalized space weather observations sourced from NOAA SWPC, including: Kp index (integer and estimated float with observation timestamp), solar wind plasma parameters, magnetic field vector data, X-ray flux with energy band and satellite source, a staleness flag with source age in seconds, schema version, and any active NOAA warnings. All values carry their physical units and the exact NOAA source field name for traceability.
Example use cases
Aurora visibility check tonight
“Is the northern lights visible tonight? Pull the current Kp index and tell me if geomagnetic activity is high enough to see the aurora at mid-latitudes.”
Satellite operator safety check
“I need to know if current space weather conditions are safe for our satellite operations — check the live Kp index, solar wind plasma, and X-ray flux levels right now and flag any warnings.”
Solar flare real-time alert
“Can you check right now if there's an active solar flare or X-ray flux spike? I need the latest NOAA SWPC X-ray readings and Kp index to decide whether to put our HF radio systems on standby.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://space-weather.use.x402atlas.com/nowWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a single, normalized, up-to-the-minute snapshot of all key space weather indicators (Kp, plasma, B-field, X-ray) in one call, especially when you need freshness metadata (stale flag, source age) and NOAA source field traceability. Prefer it over raw NOAA SWPC APIs when you want pre-normalized numeric values with units, combined multi-parameter response, and built-in staleness detection. Use the sibling forecast endpoint if you need 1–3-day outlooks rather than current conditions.
Side effects
- Stale data: NOAA SWPC feed may be delayed, indicated by stale=true and elevated source_age_seconds
- Null X-ray field: X-ray flux may be null if satellite data is unavailable
- Payment required: returns HTTP 402 if x402 payment header is missing or invalid
- NOAA upstream outage: SWPC data feed may be temporarily unavailable causing fetch failure
- Schema version mismatch: consumer must handle schema_version changes gracefully
