Read-onlyIdempotent

Solar flare and radiation storm picture: discrete flare events from the past week with peak class and R-scale level, recent GOES X-ray flux with flare-class labels (A/B/C/M/X) and class magnitude, the daily F10.7 cm solar radio flux, 3-day flare-class probabilities (C/M/X), active solar regions with per-region flare probabilities, and GOES integral proton flux at ≥10 MeV with NOAA S-scale. For operators tracking HF radio blackout (R-scale, driven by X-ray) and radiation storm risk (S-scale, driven by protons). Each active region carries the C/M/X flare counts SWPC attributed to it that UTC day, which identify the region driving current activity — the flare events themselves carry no region.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
flare_hoursNoHow far back to report discrete flare events, in hours before now, filtered on each flare’s onset time (1–168, default 24). The feed keeps a rolling 7 days, so 168 returns everything it carries. When the window comes back empty, the response names the newest flare the feed holds.
include_regionsNoInclude active solar region details (default true). Set false to skip region data and reduce response size.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
f107NoLatest Noon report, SWPC's daily F10.7 value; null when the feed has none.
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
noticeNoSet when no flare began in the flare_hours window: names the newest flare in the feed, or says the feed has none.
sScaleNoCurrent S level (0–5) from latestProton; 0 without a reading.
fetchedAtNoISO 8601 fetch time.
latestXrayNoNewest X-ray reading; null when the feed is empty.
recentXrayNoX-ray readings from the past hour, oldest first.
sScaleTextNoS level descriptor, e.g. "S2 moderate radiation storm".
latestProtonNoNewest ≥10 MeV proton reading; null when the feed is empty.
recentFlaresNoFlares with onset inside flare_hours, oldest first; empty when none began.
activeRegionsNoActive regions; empty when include_regions=false or none are active.
probabilitiesNo3-day flare probability forecast.
