# Vextorium Disaster Alerts

> Vextorium Disaster Alerts is a paid API for AI agents from api.vextorium.com, paid per call via x402, $0.004/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-15).

Returns current global natural disaster alerts (earthquakes, cyclones, floods, volcanoes, droughts, wildfires) filtered by type and severity level from GDACS.

## 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 vextorium-disaster-alerts-13e01220 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest global disaster alerts from GDACS for cyclones and show me up to 50 results, but only orange or red severity — I want to see which ones are still active and where they are.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, filterable global natural disaster alert data sourced from the authoritative GDACS (UN/EU) feed, especially when you need to filter by specific disaster type (earthquake, cyclone, flood, volcano, drought, wildfire) or severity level (green, orange, red) and need geospatial coordinates alongside active status and severity descriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid disaster type enum value returns validation error
- Invalid alert level enum value returns validation error
- Limit outside 1-100 range may return error or be clamped
- No alerts matching filters returns empty alerts array with total 0
- GDACS data source temporarily unavailable may return upstream error

## How this service works

Natural disaster alerts in progress: worldwide M4.5+ earthquakes of the last 7 days (USGS, with PAGER alert level), tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and Eastern/Central Pacific (NOAA NHC) and flood and wildfire warnings in the United States (National Weather Service).

## Output

A JSON object containing a total count of matching alerts, an array of alert objects (each with name, disaster type, alert level, country, lat/lon coordinates, severity description, active status, start/end dates, and a GDACS report link), the data source attribution, and the minimum alert level filter applied.
