Reloadpi — Browse eSIM data plans for international travel across 190+ countries

Everything around a coordinate in one call: nearby airports (IATA/ICAO, type, distance), public K-12 schools (name, district, enrollment, distance), NOAA climate stations (for chaining into /api/climate/station-history), and earthquakes from the past week (magnitude, depth, time). Pass lat/lon plus optional radiusKm (default 25, max 200) and per-category limit (default 5). Each category returns an independent found/error block, so one slow source never empties the rest. Site assessment, relocation research, travel planning, and risk screening. Each category is also a standalone endpoint (/api/airport/near, /api/edu/school-lookup, /api/climate/station-near, /api/quakes/recent).

Global natural events tracker via NASA EONET v3 (Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker). Returns active and historical events curated by NASA EOSDIS: wildfires, severe storms, volcanoes, floods, droughts, landslides, sea/lake ice, dust/haze, manmade incidents, water-color anomalies. Each event includes geo-located observation points with timestamps, source attribution (USGS, NWS, IRWIN, GDACS, etc.), and category. Filter by status (open/closed/all), days-back window, category, or bounding box.

Current weather conditions for a US ZIP code (temperature, wind, humidity, conditions). Backed by the US National Weather Service (api.weather.gov) — public domain, no rate-limit pressure on commercial use.

Current aviation weather observation (METAR) for one or more airports. Pass ids = comma-separated ICAO station ids (e.g. KATL, EGLL, KJFK). Returns the raw METAR plus decoded fields: flight category (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR), temperature + dewpoint (°C), wind direction/speed/gust (kt), visibility, altimeter (inHg), and cloud layers. Source: NOAA Aviation Weather Center (keyless, public domain).

Current air quality for any coordinate worldwide. Pass lat + lon. Returns the US AQI (+ category Good/Moderate/Unhealthy…), the European AQI, and pollutant concentrations: PM2.5, PM10, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide. Source: Open-Meteo / CAMS (keyless).

Current weather conditions for any coordinate worldwide. Pass lat + lon (and optional units=metric|imperial, default metric). Returns temperature, feels-like, humidity, precipitation (rain/snow), cloud cover, sea-level pressure, wind speed/direction/gusts, day/night flag, and a human-readable conditions label from the WMO weather code — with local time + timezone. Global coverage (not just US — for US-only NWS data see weather.zip / weather.forecast). Source: Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0).

Real-time US river/stream conditions from a USGS monitoring site. Pass site = the USGS site number (e.g. 01646500 = Potomac River near Washington DC). Returns the latest readings — streamflow (cubic feet/sec), gage height (ft), and water/air temperature where available — with the site name + coordinates and observation time. Useful for flood monitoring, recreation, and hydrology. Source: USGS National Water Information System (keyless, public domain).

Search the catalog of every cataloged Earth-orbiting object — ~69,000 satellites, rocket bodies, and debris tracked by US Space Force / 18 SDS (via CelesTrak SATCAT). Filter by name (q, e.g. "starlink"), owner/launching country (owner — code like US/PRC/CIS or a name like "china"), object type (type = payload | rocket body | debris | unknown), launch-year range (launchYearFrom/launchYearTo), international/COSPAR designator prefix (intlDesignator, e.g. "2024-"), on-orbit vs decayed (onOrbit), or exact NORAD number (noradId). Each result carries the NORAD id, name, international designator, object type, owner + resolved country, launch date + site, decay date (null = still in orbit), and orbital parameters (period, inclination, apogee, perigee). The envelope total is the full count matching your filter — so onOrbit=true&type=payload answers "how many active satellites are up there", and owner=PRC tells you who launched them. For a satellite's live sub-point position, pass its noradId to /api/space/satellite.

Search the NTSB civil aviation accident & incident database (CAROL) — US events from 1962 to present plus selected foreign investigations. Filter by aircraft registration (N-number, partial match), US state (2-letter code or name), make, model, city, and/or event date range (dateFrom/dateTo as YYYY-MM-DD). At least one filter is required. Returns matching events newest-first: NTSB number, event date/type, city/state/country, aircraft registration(s)/make(s)/model(s), highest injury level, onboard & on-ground injury counts, report type/status, and a link to the official NTSB case page. Data: NTSB (U.S. public domain), live. For aviation safety research, fleet/tail-number history, incident due-diligence, and accident-trend analysis.

Current marine/sea-state conditions for an ocean or coastal coordinate. Pass lat + lon. Returns significant wave height (m), wave direction + period, and the wind-wave and swell-wave components. Useful for surf, sailing, and coastal ops. Source: Open-Meteo marine (keyless). Returns 404 for inland points.

Situational awareness for a coordinate: recent earthquakes (USGS) and active wildfires (NIFC) within a configurable radius. Returns each with distance-from-query in km, sorted nearest-first. Multi-source synthesis from free US Government feeds. Real-time, post-training data.

Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) for one or more airports — the official aviation forecast issued for an airport (~24–30h ahead). Pass ids = comma-separated ICAO station ids (e.g. KATL). Returns the raw TAF text + issue time. Source: NOAA Aviation Weather Center (keyless). For current conditions use aviation.metar.

Live US severe-weather alerts from the National Weather Service. Pass a point ("lat,lon") to get every active watch, warning, and advisory for that exact location, or an area (2-letter US state or marine zone code) for area-wide alerts. Optionally filter by severity or urgency. Each alert returns the event type, severity, urgency, certainty, headline, affected-area description, issuing office, recommended public response, onset / expiry / end times, and the full hazard description plus protective-action instructions. Results are sorted most-severe first and capped by limit, with the true total reported. Public-domain NOAA / National Weather Service data, refreshed in real time.

Weather for any coordinate. Current (default): temperature (C), relative humidity (%), wind speed, weather code — real-time. Historical: add start_date & end_date (YYYY-MM-DD, up to 92 days per call, archive lags ~5 days) for hourly history — backtest weather-sensitive strategies (energy, agriculture, logistics). Inputs: lat, lon, start_date?, end_date?. Keyless (Open-Meteo).

Timezone intelligence — current offset, DST status, next transition.

List near-Earth asteroid/comet close approaches to Earth within a date window and maximum distance, from NASA JPL's Close-Approach Data API. Filter by dateMin / dateMax (YYYY-MM-DD) and distMaxAu (max approach distance in AU; default 0.05 AU ≈ 19.5 lunar distances). Each approach: object designation, close-approach date (UTC), nominal + minimum distance in AU and lunar distances, relative velocity (km/s), and absolute magnitude H (a size proxy). Sorted nearest-first. Planetary-defense, observation planning, and "what's passing by this month" queries. Public-domain NASA/JPL data; for full physical/orbital params of a listed object see /api/space/body.

Upcoming or recent orbital rocket launches from The Space Devs' Launch Library 2 — the live manifest behind most launch-tracking apps. `when`=upcoming (default) or previous. Optional `search` filters by rocket, provider, or mission text (e.g. "Starship", "SpaceX", "Artemis"). Each launch: name, status (Go/TBD/Success/Failure), NET launch time + window (UTC), launch provider, rocket configuration, pad + location, mission name/type/orbit/description, and whether a webcast is live. Real-time data agents can't get from training. Public CC-BY data (attribute The Space Devs).

Look up any asteroid or comet in NASA JPL's Small-Body Database by designation, number, or name (e.g. "433", "Eros", "433 Eros", "1P/Halley", "2024 YR4"). Returns full name + kind + orbit class (e.g. Amor, Apollo, Jupiter-family comet), NEO and potentially-hazardous-asteroid flags, physical params (absolute magnitude H, diameter, extent, rotation period, albedo, density, spectral type), and orbital elements (eccentricity, semi-major axis, perihelion/aphelion, inclination, period, Earth MOID, observation arc). Astronomy, planetary-defense, and mission-planning research. Public-domain NASA/JPL data; for a body's near-Earth close approaches see /api/space/close-approaches.

Compute the current position of any cataloged Earth-orbiting satellite by NORAD catalog number (e.g. 25544 = ISS, 20580 = Hubble), using fresh Celestrak orbital elements propagated with SGP4. Returns sub-point latitude/longitude, altitude (km), and speed (km/s) for the requested instant (default: now; pass `at` as an ISO timestamp for any time within a few days of the elements' epoch). Supply observer `lat`/`lon` (and optional altKm) to also get look angles — azimuth, elevation, slant range, and whether the satellite is above your horizon — for visual/antenna pointing. Satellite tracking, pass prediction, ground-station planning. Public-domain orbital data; physical/mission metadata is not included.

Official US weather forecast for a coordinate (US land + territories). Pass lat + lon. Returns the National Weather Service forecast as a list of periods — by default ~7 days of day/night periods; pass hourly=true for an hour-by-hour forecast. Each period gives the temperature + unit, wind speed/direction, chance of precipitation, and a short + detailed forecast, plus the resolved city/state and issuing office. Source: US National Weather Service (api.weather.gov), public domain. For active warnings use weather.alerts.

Look up a US-registered aircraft by tail number (N-number, e.g. N757F) or icao24 Mode-S hex (e.g. aa3487). Pass exactly one of `tail` or `icao24`. Returns the airframe: registration, manufacturer, model, ICAO type code + class, serial number, operator, owner, build year, engines, category, plus the icao24 Mode-S address that ADS-B transponders broadcast — use it to join live flight-tracking feeds. ~307k US airframes. 404 if no match.

Free public-domain data from waterservices.usgs.gov.

Observer-local sky almanac for any lat/lon and time (default now). Returns the Sun's next rise/set + current altitude/azimuth; the Moon's rise/set, current alt/az, phase angle, phase name (New → Full → Waning Crescent), illuminated fraction, and next moon quarter; and for all seven non-Earth planets (Mercury→Neptune): altitude, azimuth, RA/dec, distance (AU), apparent magnitude, and whether each is currently above the horizon. Computed from first principles (astronomy-engine, sub-arcminute) — no external service, no key. Stargazing, astrophotography planning, 'what's up right now', is-it-dark-yet. `at` accepts any ISO timestamp.
