# US Driving Route Hazard Check (Wildfires + Weather Alerts)

> US Driving Route Hazard Check (Wildfires + Weather Alerts) is a paid API for AI agents from x402-seller.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Returns driving distance and duration between two US coordinates, plus any active NIFC wildfires and NWS weather alerts falling within a configurable corridor along the route.

## 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 us-driving-route-hazard-check-wildfires-weather-alerts-844dff22
```

Example prompt: Before I drive from 34.0522,-118.2437 to 36.1699,-115.1398 tomorrow, can you check for any active wildfires or NWS weather alerts within 30km of the route and tell me the distance and estimated drive time?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single call that combines driving route metrics with real-time wildfire and weather hazard data correlated specifically to the route corridor — avoiding the need to separately query a routing API and two hazard APIs and then spatially join the results yourself. Prefer it for travel safety checks, evacuation planning, and fleet dispatch decisions in the US where route-proximate hazards matter.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-US coordinates returns an error or empty results
- corridorKm outside 1-100 range may be rejected or clamped
- Routing service unavailable returns a routing error
- NIFC or NWS upstream APIs down returns partial or empty hazard data
- Malformed lat,lng strings (e.g. missing comma) cause query parse errors

## How this service works

Driving route between two US points, cross-checked against live hazards along the way: distance and duration, plus any active NIFC wildfires within a corridor of the route and any National Weather Service alerts in force along it. Returns the fires and alerts actually near the path, with distances, rather than a route and a separate hazard lookup.

## Output

Returns a route object with distance in km, duration in minutes, from/to points, and sample point count; a wildfires object with a list of fires near the route, the nearest fire, the corridor width used, and a count of fires; a weatherAlerts object with alerts and count across sampled points; a top-level hazardsFound boolean; and attribution/disclaimer strings.
