NASA POWER

NASA POWER (Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources) global weather history for a GeoJSON geometry: daily temperature, rainfall, solar radiation, humidity, wind and soil wetness since 1981, monthly and annual history, 2001-2020 climate normals, and the parameter catalog. Keyless public API; every value is for the 0.5 x 0.625 degree reanalysis grid cell containing the geometry's centroid.

stringRequired

objectRequired

GeoJSON (RFC 7946, WGS84, positions as [longitude, latitude] with an optional ignored altitude): a Point, Polygon or MultiPolygon, or a Feature wrapping one. Polygon rings must be closed (first position equals the last). A FeatureCollection is refused (send one place per call), as is a geometry crossing the antimeridian. The object is left open so the program can report the exact failing position as a JSON pointer with a stable code (`ring_not_closed`, `latitude` with a swapped-order hint, `too_large`, `too_many_vertices`, `antimeridian`, `feature_collection`, `unsupported_type`).

Ready-made Firecrawl tools that call NASA POWER.

Uses NASA POWER, ACIS (NOAA Regional Climate Centers), National Weather Service API (api.weather.gov)Irrigation district water demand outlookUse when an irrigation district manager is planning deliveries for the next two weeks. Reads recent evapotranspiration, rainfall and temperature across the district, compares them with normals, and reads the forecast, then estimates whether demand will rise and which canals or laterals to prepare for.5 toolsOpen
Uses NASA POWER, US Energy Information Administration, IEADrought hydro shortfall checkUse when a power trader, utility planner or industrial buyer in a hydro-heavy region (US Pacific Northwest, Brazil, Norway) worries that a dry season will cut hydro output and raise prices. Measures the precipitation and soil moisture deficit in the basin, reads recent hydro generation, and checks retail or national price data, returning a shortfall brief.6 toolsOpen
Uses NASA POWER, US Energy Information Administration, USFS Wildfire Risk to Communities, National Weather Service API (api.weather.gov), US Census Bureau+1Rooftop solar payback screenUse when a solar installer, commercial property owner or energy consultant wants a quick payback screen for a rooftop system at one US address before a site visit. Reads long-run sunshine at the site, the state's retail electricity price for the customer class, hazard exposure that affects insurance, and local income for residential demand, then gives a payback range with every input sourced.6 toolsOpen
Uses NASA POWER, National Weather Service API (api.weather.gov), Element 84 Earth Search (Sentinel-2 L2A)Solar fleet underperformance diagnosisUse when a solar asset manager sees a site producing below budget and needs to know whether weather explains it. Compares the site's daily irradiance with its climate normal, checks for smoke, snow or storm alerts over the period, and pulls clear satellite views of the site, then separates weather from equipment causes.5 toolsOpen
Uses NASA POWER, OpenStreetMap, USFS Wildfire Risk to Communities, ArcGIS public GIS layersWind lease prospect screenUse when a wind developer's land agent is deciding which landowners to approach for lease options. Reads long-term wind speed at hub-relevant height, nearby substations and transmission lines from map data, wildfire hazard for the parcels, and any county GIS layers on zoning or setbacks, then ranks prospects.5 toolsOpen
Uses NASA POWER, ACIS (NOAA Regional Climate Centers), Trends, WHO Global Health Observatory, PubMed and PMC+1Mosquito-borne disease season outlookUse when a state or county epidemiologist plans vector surveillance and messaging for the coming dengue or West Nile season. Compares recent temperature and rainfall with climate normals, checks rising public symptom searches by region, reviews WHO and published case trends for imported risk, and drafts a sourced season outlook for the health officer.8 toolsOpen
Uses NASA POWER, ACIS (NOAA Regional Climate Centers), National Weather Service API (api.weather.gov), MapsPatio season opening date from climate historyUse when a restaurant operator or bar owner is deciding when to open, staff and heat the patio for the season. Reads long-run climate normals and recent monthly history at the address, the coming week's forecast, and how nearby patio restaurants are reviewed. Produces a recommended opening week, a heater and shade plan, and a weather rule for each shift.5 toolsOpen
Uses IBGE service data API, NASA POWER, Banco Central do Brasil open data, CME Group FedWatch and market dataBrazil soybean crop estimate checkUse when a South America crop analyst at a trading house is checking Brazil's soybean crop outlook. Reads IBGE's systematic crop survey by state, rainfall in the main growing states against normal, the real against the dollar, and soybean futures and fund positioning, then compares the official estimate with conditions.8 toolsOpen
Uses CFTC Commitments of Traders, NASA POWER, XE currency data, MSC shipment tracking and schedulesCocoa or coffee origin sourcing riskUse when a chocolate, coffee or food buyer is planning purchases from one origin country and wants the next quarter's risk in one view. Combines fund positioning in the futures market, rainfall against normal in the growing region, the origin currency, and shipping options from the origin port, returning a sourcing risk brief with timing suggestions.9 toolsOpen
