NOAA Space Weather Scraper — Solar Flares, Alerts & Kp Index
Extract live space weather data from the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) — the official US government source for solar storm forecasting. Geomagnetic storms disrupt satellites, GPS accuracy, HF radio, airline polar routes, and power grids; SWPC's feeds are the canonical early-warning signal, and this Actor turns six of them into clean structured datasets.
Available data products
| Product | What you get |
|---|---|
| Alerts, Watches & Warnings | Official SWPC alert messages (geomagnetic storms, radio blackouts, radiation storms) with alert codes and full text |
| GOES X-ray Solar Flares (7 days) | Every solar flare detected by GOES satellites — begin/max/end times and flare class (B/C/M/X) |
| Solar Flare / Proton Probabilities | Daily forecast probabilities of C/M/X-class flares and proton events, 1–3 days out |
| Planetary Kp Index | Geomagnetic activity index at 3-hour cadence — the storm-severity number (Kp ≥ 5 = storm) |
| Active Solar Regions | Sunspot regions on the visible disk with magnetic classifications and flare history |
| Observatory Sunspot Reports | Raw sunspot observations from contributing observatories |
Every record is tagged with a product field so multi-product runs stay easy to split downstream.

Pricing
Pay-per-result. Typical runs return a few hundred to a few thousand records for fractions of a cent in compute — these are lightweight JSON feeds, no browser required.
FAQ
How fresh is the data? SWPC updates these feeds continuously — alerts within minutes of issuance, Kp every 3 hours, flares in near real time.
Can I schedule it? Yes — run it on an Apify schedule (e.g. hourly) and pipe new records to Slack, email, or a webhook via integrations.
