Excerpt

Hormuz Strait Monitor Skill

Fetches real-time status of the Strait of Hormuz from the Hormuz Strait Monitor dashboard API. Covers shipping transits, oil prices, stranded vessels, insurance risk, diplomatic status, global trade impact, and crisis timeline.

This skill is read-only. It fetches public dashboard data — no authentication required.

Step 1: Fetch Dashboard Data

Use curl to fetch the dashboard API:

curl -s https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com/api/dashboard

Parse the JSON response. The API returns { "success": true, "data": { ... }, "timestamp": "..." }.

If success is false or the request fails, inform the user the monitor is temporarily unavailable and suggest checking https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com directly.
