One coordinate in. Dense public context out.

Latitude and longitude are the canonical DCC location key. If you know a coordinate, you do not need to know which public weather, alert, earth, water, air-quality, event, or local source covers it. DCC selects the geographically applicable sources and returns one predictable location object.

Ordered response modules

Read the modules object first. DCC returns only what mapped sources can support for that coordinate.

identity

Coordinate, timezone, elevation and canonical identity

now

Current weather and air-quality conditions

conditions

12-hour weather/air outlook and three-day context

hazards

Official alerts, recent earthquakes and NASA natural events

water

Nearby NOAA river/flood gauges when applicable

official

Official NWS forecast/zone context when applicable

events

Configured nearby event feeds when available

machineFeeds

Additional geographically mapped public machine feeds

Current core public sources

Open-Meteo weather
Open-Meteo / Copernicus CAMS air quality
U.S. National Weather Service forecasts + alerts
U.S. Geological Survey earthquakes
NASA EONET natural events
NOAA National Water Prediction Service gauges

Each response includes per-source availability and checked timestamps. DCC uses source-specific revalidation plus a short shared response cache so repeated agent reads do not hammer public upstream services.

Machine discovery

How to interpret a response

DCC aggregates time-sensitive public-source observations. Use provider names, timestamps, freshness fields, and source links when available. A missing module means DCC does not currently have a mapped usable source for that coordinate; it does not prove that the real-world condition or service is absent. Machine coordinate reads do not require reverse geocoding; a human-readable place name is optional.
