# TBS Weather & Climate API – Tide Predictions & Sea-Level Forecast

> TBS Weather & Climate API – Tide Predictions & Sea-Level Forecast is a paid API for AI agents from x402.tbs-digital.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-09).

Returns hourly sea-level height (meters) plus derived high and low tide times for any coastal location, for up to 168 hours ahead.

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 tbs-weather-climate-api-tide-predictions-sea-level-forecast-be036f2e
```

Example prompt: What are the high and low tide times for the next 48 hours at Miami Beach, Florida? I need hourly sea-level heights too.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable tide tables (hourly sea-level heights plus explicit high/low events) for any coastal location worldwide, especially for operational contexts like shipping, fishing, port scheduling, or surfing. Prefer it over generic weather APIs that omit marine/tidal data, and over free tide services that lack programmatic access or per-call pricing at this granularity.

## Known failure modes

- Missing both lat/lon and city → 400 bad request
- Invalid or inland city name with no coastal tide data → empty or error response
- Hours parameter out of range (< 1 or > 168) → validation error
- Location too far inland (no marine data available) → no tide data returned
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) → 402 payment required

## How this service works

Tide predictions and sea-level forecast for any coastal location: hourly sea-level height (meters) plus derived high and low tide times, next 24 hours by default. From Open-Meteo Marine. For shipping, fishing, surfing, and coastal or port operations that need tide tables.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: location metadata (lat, lon, name, country), an array of hourly sea-level height readings in meters, derived high and low tide events with timestamps, the data source (Open-Meteo Marine), a request ID, and a generated_at timestamp. Covers up to 168 hours of tide data.
