Hormuz Flags

x402 APIPassing, checked 55 min ago

Strait of Hormuz flag rollup: the flag states of the live-AIS vessel population (seen within the last activeWindowHours, currently 1.5) ranked by vessel count, each with a sanctioned tally and an oldest_last_seen recency check, plus distinct-flag count and sanctioned share. Flags are best-effort from the MMSI MID (ITU-T M.585). Quality-gated on live AIS. Operators and direction are omitted, not faked. Recently-dark hulls (last 3 to 24h) are counted in darkFleetTotal.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.01.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i 'https://straits.live/api/premium/hormuz/flags'

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
curl -sS -g -o /dev/null -D - 'https://straits.live/api/premium/hormuz/flags' \
  | grep -i '^payment-required:' | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r' | base64 --decode

import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

// Pays at most $0.01 per call.
const client = new x402Client().setSpendControls({ maxAmountPerPayment: "$0.01" });
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(process.env.EVM_PRIVATE_KEY) });
