# Hormuz Strait Monitor Skill Fetches real-time status of the Strait of Hormuz from the [Hormuz Strait Monitor](https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com) 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: ```bash 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. --- ## Step 2: Identify What the User Needs Match the user's request to the relevant data sections. If the user asks for a general status update, present all sections. If they ask about something specific, focus on the relevant section(s). | User Request | Data Section | Key Fields | |---|---|---| | General status / "is Hormuz open?" | `straitStatus` | `status`, `since`, `description` | | Ship traffic / transit count | `shipCount` | `currentTransits`, `last24h`, `normalDaily`, `percentOfNormal` | | Oil price impact | `oilPrice` | `brentPrice`, `change24h`, `changePercent24h`, `sparkline` | | Stranded / stuck vessels | `strandedVessels` | `total`, `tankers`, `bulk`, `other`, `changeToday` ...
