How this service works
Returns the International Space Station's real-time latitude, longitude and UTC timestamp from the Open Notify API, keyless. Autonomous satellite-tracking, ham-radio, education and orbital-mechanics agents consume it for A2A live tracking and agent-to-agent pass-prediction pipelines. Ranking surface: ISS location API, space station tracker, live orbit, satellite position, open-notify.
Output
A JSON object containing a boolean 'ok' status, the niche identifier 'iss-live-position', and a 'result' object with the ISS's current latitude (decimal degrees), longitude (decimal degrees), and a Unix UTC timestamp. Also includes provenance showing the upstream Open Notify source URL.
Example use cases
Ham radio ISS pass prediction
“I need to set up a pass prediction pipeline — can you grab the ISS's current latitude, longitude, and timestamp so I can calculate the next overhead pass for my location?”
Classroom live orbital demo
“Pull the ISS's live position right now so I can show my students exactly where it is over Earth during today's space lesson.”
Autonomous satellite tracking agent
“Keep checking where the ISS is in real time and alert me whenever it crosses over North America — start by getting its current coordinates and timestamp.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://iss-live-position.hergertsynthora.com/serviceWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a keyless, pay-per-call ISS position lookup with no API account setup, especially useful for agent pipelines, educational tools, or ham-radio pass-prediction workflows that need real-time ISS coordinates on demand without managing upstream API credentials.
Side effects
- Open Notify upstream API unavailable — service may return an error or stale data
- Network timeout if the upstream API is slow to respond
- Payment failure if x402 USDC microtransaction is not processed correctly
- Malformed response if the upstream API changes its schema
