How this service works
Official public data as JSON. Unpaid paid routes return HTTP 402.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a boolean 'ok' status, product identifier ('uscg-d5-lnm'), current week label, as-of date, source NAVCEN URL, record count, an array of structured notice records (each with id, url, date, waterway/firm, and type), and a notices array with detailed text, section, waterway, and PDF source URL per notice.
Example use cases
Pre-voyage navigation hazard check
“Before I head out on the Albemarle Sound this weekend, can you check the latest USCG District 5 notices to mariners and tell me if there are any active navigation discrepancies or safety warnings I should know about?”
Maritime compliance monitoring for fleet operators
“Pull this week's USCG D5 Local Notices to Mariners and flag any federal discrepancies affecting aids to navigation — I need to update our fleet's route planning for mid-Atlantic waterways.”
Automated weekly LNM digest for mariners
“What are all the notices in the most recent USCG District 5 LNM bulletin? Give me the week number, all records, and any federal discrepancies listed, with their source URLs.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://ticks.bnm.farm/mariners-d5?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need machine-readable, structured JSON access to USCG District 5 LNM data without scraping PDF documents from NAVCEN directly. Ideal for agents that need to monitor mid-Atlantic navigation notices, automate safety checks for maritime operators, or build applications that surface waterway hazard information for District 5 (Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland coast).
Side effects
- HTTP 402 Payment Required if payment not included — endpoint requires $0.05 USDC per call via x402 protocol
- Stale data if NAVCEN source has not published a new LNM for the current week
- Empty records array if no discrepancies or notices exist for the current period
- Network timeout if upstream NAVCEN source is unavailable
- Malformed response if NAVCEN PDF parsing fails
