Waltsoft FishPulse Fishing Conditions and Forecast API

FishPulse answers "is this a good time to fish here?" with a 0-100 score an AI agent or app can reason over, built from live NOAA data and computed astronomy, with every factor shown.

• GET /v1/conditions?lat=27.7606&lon=-82.6269 returns the score now, a verdict, conditions (air temperature, wind, sky and precipitation chance from the NWS hourly forecast; barometric pressure and its 3-hour trend from the nearest NWS observation station; water temperature and tide state from NOAA CO-OPS), tide times, moon phase, solunar major and minor periods, sunrise and sunset, ratings for up to 4 species, an optimal window, score_breakdown and data_sources. Optional water_temp_f lets you pass your own reading.
• GET /v1/forecast?lat=27.7606&lon=-82.6269&days=3 returns a daily outlook for 1-7 days (days above 7 answers 400, not billed) from the NWS forecast, with tide times, moon phase and solunar periods per day, and the best day.
• GET /v1/compare?spots=27.7606,-82.6269;41.4993,-81.6944 ranks 2-5 spots, each scored from its own live NOAA data.
• GET /v1/species/{name} returns built-in reference data for 12 species (temperature range, ideal temperature, pressure preference, depth, notes). No key needed and not billed.

Weather: NOAA National Weather Service (api.weather.gov) hourly forecast for air temperature, wind, precipitation chance and sky; its 12-hour forecast (about 7 days) for /v1/forecast; and the nearest NWS observation station (within 60 km) for barometric pressure and its 3-hour trend (null when no reading in the last 3 hours). Tides: NOAA CO-OPS high/low tide predictions from the nearest prediction station within 25 km (null inland and on the Great Lakes, with the reason). Water temperature: the latest NOAA CO-OPS measurement within 30 km (null with the reason when there is none; you can pass your own water_temp_f). Moon phase, illumination, moonrise/moonset, solunar major periods (2 hours around the moon's overhead and underfoot transits) and minor periods (1 hour around moonrise and moonset), sunrise and sunset are computed with Astronomy Engine (MIT licence). Every answer has data_sources (which source fed each field, or why it is null) and score_breakdown (each factor's input and points).

Score 0-100: base 50; water temperature 65-75 F +20, 60-80 F +10, below 50 or above 85 F -15; wind 5-12 mph +10, above 20 mph -15, below 3 mph -5; pressure 3-hour trend falling +15, stable +5, rising -5; tide incoming +10, outgoing +5; inside a solunar major period +10, minor +5; moon day (within 1 day of new or full moon) +5, within 3 days +3; precipitation chance 70% or more -10, 40% or more -5. /v1/forecast scores each day on water temperature (latest reading), daytime wind, precipitation chance and the moon day (+10 / +5). A factor whose source is unavailable adds 0.

• Weather: NOAA National Weather Service (api.weather.gov). Tides and water temperature: NOAA CO-OPS Tides & Currents (tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov). US Government data, public domain; FishPulse is not endorsed by NOAA. Moon and solunar times computed with Astronomy Engine (MIT licence).

• REST with an X-API-Key header, described by an OpenAPI 3 schema (https://fishpulse.waltsoft.net/openapi.json ).
• MCP: the tool fishpulse___getFishConditions (lat, lon) on the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway, for Claude, Strands Agents and other MCP clients.
• A2A (Agent2Agent 0.3): the agent card at https://fishpulse.waltsoft.net/.well-known/agent-card.json  with the skills getFishingConditions, getFishingForecast, compareFishingSpots and getSpeciesInfo.

Outdoor and fishing apps and AI agents that want one call for a fishing score from live NOAA weather, tides and water temperature, with moon and solunar timing, for US locations.

On AWS Marketplace, 1 unit ($0.06) per successful call on every paid route, billed on your AWS bill. With x402 (USDC, no subscription): $0.05 per call. Only successful calls are billed; errors, including NWS outages (503), are never billed. Rate limit: 50 requests per second, bursts up to 100.
