What is the DEEP Data API?
DEEP Data is a structured data API for Caribbean and OECS feeds. Developers and AI agents call the same JSON. Every response includes a source URL, a fetch time, a licence, and an attribution.
Which hazard feeds cover the Caribbean?
NHC storms include a Caribbean-interest flag. USGS earthquakes are limited to 8°N–23°N and 75°W–58°W. NOAA tide predictions and the NWS forecast are for Charlotte Amalie only. An empty storm or earthquake list is a valid result.
How should an AI agent call this API?
Start with llms.txt, then the OpenAPI document, then one feed. Send Authorization: Bearer with a dashboard key. Revalidate with If-None-Match. Use omit=data when you need the envelope without the payload, and cursor pages for history.
What happens when ECCB exchange rates cannot be fetched?
If the bank returns HTTP 403, the exchange-rate feed stays degraded and no rate is stored. The EC dollar peg is a separate cited record of the published XCD 2.70 rate. It is not a scrape, and any other USD rate is rejected.
What does the free quota include?
A free key allows 10 requests a minute and 100 a day. Calls inside that quota do not debit credits. The public NHC sample, status, and OpenAPI document are not metered. Paid checkout is not open yet.
