• GET /api/premium/risk-premium — Strait of Hormuz war-risk transit premium nowcast: a live MODELED war-risk insurance multiple (Nx over the peace baseline, on the published 1x-80x scale) for moving a tanker through the strait, recomputed every 5 minutes from throughput deviation (IMF PortWatch), the escalation forecast (Polymarket + Kalshi + Manifold + Brent-WTI spread), crude implied volatility (OVX), and event pressure (news and maritime RSS feeds, the PGSA incident feed and GDELT). The standing straits.live insurance-estimate multiple is carried only as a static reference (it is set manually and changes infrequently); the modeled figure is the live signal, not a divergence from that anchor. Returns a band, a curated VLCC war-premium band ($/voyage, estimated separately from the modeled multiple and not derived from it), per-driver detail, and a confidence that degrades on stale feeds or thin market volume. A modeled situational-awareness indicator, not an insurance quote. (0.05 USDC on Base)
• GET /api/premium/bunker — Strait of Hormuz bunker & marine-fuel feed: current VLSFO, IFO380, and MGO prices ($/tonne) for Fujairah (the world's #2-3 bunkering hub, just outside the strait and the physical fueling alternative when transit is disrupted), benchmarked against Singapore and Rotterdam, plus the derived Fujairah premium over each comparison hub. The physical-commodity read on Hormuz stress that the Brent and insurance signals do not capture. (0.02 USDC on Base)
• GET /api/premium/hormuz/risk-screen — Strait of Hormuz shadow-fleet risk screen: the live-AIS vessel population (vessels seen on AIS within the last activeWindowHours, currently 1.5) ranked worst-first, each hull with its risk band, the typed reasons behind it (ofac_sdn, ais_dark, foc_tanker, imo_spoofed), which sanctions bodies list it (US OFAC and/or UK/FCDO), and a lastSeenAt timestamp (when the hull was last listed, not necessarily its last true AIS fix) so listing recency can be checked per row. A transparent rules engine (not ML) fusing OFAC + UK sanctions, live AIS, AIS-dark gaps, and spoofed-IMO detection into one compliance-grade screen. counts cover the screened population, that is every hull seen on AIS inside the active window, not every hull ever tracked; vessels lists only the flagged hulls (high + moderate) by default, ?all=1 adds the cleared low-band hulls. Quality-gated on live AIS; flags are best-effort from the MMSI MID (ITU-T M.585). Because the screen is bounded to the active AIS window, an ais_dark reason (and counts.dark) surfaces only for a hull that has just reappeared in-window; the full recently-dark fleet count is exposed separately as darkFleetTotal.

• GET /api/premium/hormuz/flags — Strait of Hormuz flag rollup: the flag states of the live-AIS vessel population (vessels seen on AIS within the last activeWindowHours, currently 1.5) ranked by vessel count, each with a per-flag sanctioned tally and an oldest_last_seen recency check, plus distinct-flag count and sanctioned share. Flags are derived best-effort from the MMSI MID (ITU-T M.585). Quality-gated on live AIS. Operators and inbound/outbound direction are omitted, not faked: no operator field is stored and transit direction is not tracked per vessel. The full count of recently-dark hulls (last 3 to 24h) is exposed as darkFleetTotal, since almost none of them are still in the active window. (0.01 USDC on Base)
• GET /api/premium/snapshot — Everything the Strait of Hormuz crisis monitor knows in one call: verdict, oil, transits, insurance, carriers, pipelines, indices, prediction markets, events, full daily brief. (0.02 USDC on Base)
• GET /api/premium/vessels — Strait of Hormuz per-vessel intelligence: the live-AIS vessel manifest (MMSI-keyed, flag derived from the MMSI MID), the OFAC-sanctioned vessels currently in the Persian Gulf window with program detail, per-vessel risk bands, latest raw AIS positions, the top AIS-dark hulls with the full dark count alongside, and OFAC + UK sanctions reference-list sizes (per-IMO multi-body detail at /api/premium/vessel/{imo}). (0.02 USDC on Base)
• GET /api/premium/brief — Returns a premium brief summary from Straits Live. (0.01 USDC on Base)
• POST /api/premium/stream/session — Creates a paid premium stream session for accessing live content. (0.05 USDC on Base)
• GET /api/premium/history/index-5min — Strait of Hormuz historical series as one machine-payable contract: hourly stranded-vessel and AIS-dark counts, capped at a rolling one-year retention window with actual depth growing daily as the pipeline accumulates history (free tier: 30 days and none), the 5-minute Hormuz Index, and the daily transit series (uncapped: it always returns the full retained history, currently 505+ days and growing) enriched with derived analytics (trailing 7-day moving average, deviation from the pre-crisis baseline, and distance to the reopening-resolution threshold) that the free raw counts omit. (0.01 USDC on Base)
• GET /api/premium/vessel/1 — Single Strait of Hormuz vessel sanctions + risk dossier by IMO: the unified multi-body sanctions view (every body that lists the vessel — US OFAC and the UK/FCDO list — each with its own detail and, for the UK, owner/operator, flag, tonnage, ship type, year built, and Date Designated), merged identity, per-vessel risk band, and dark-activity (AIS-gap) record. Resolves for IMOs listed by OFAC or the UK, or with a dark-activity record. (0.02 USDC on Base)
• GET /api/premium/export — Bulk Strait of Hormuz history export: every requested series (index-5min, stranded, ais-gaps, transits) in one archive, as JSON or CSV. index-5min, stranded, and ais-gaps cap at 365 days of retained history; transits returns its full retained history instead (currently 505+ days and growing), carrying the same derived analytics (7-day MA, baseline deviation, reopening-threshold headroom) as the per-feed history call. The read-heavy one-shot alternative to paging the per-feed history endpoint. (0.25 USDC on Base)
• GET /api/premium/history/1 — Strait of Hormuz historical series as one machine-payable contract: hourly stranded-vessel and AIS-dark counts, capped at a rolling one-year retention window with actual depth growing daily as the pipeline accumulates history (free tier: 30 days and none), the 5-minute Hormuz Index, and the daily transit series (uncapped: it always returns the full retained history, currently 505+ days and growing) enriched with derived analytics (trailing 7-day moving average, deviation from the pre-crisis baseline, and distance to the reopening-resolution threshold) that the free raw counts omit. (0.01 USDC on Base)
• POST /api/premium/webhooks — Register a webhook that receives a signed POST whenever the Strait of Hormuz verdict flips, a Hormuz Index band crosses up, or a monitored threshold breaches. One payment funds a bounded subscription (30 days or 100 deliveries, whichever first). (0.5 USDC on Base)
