Red Alert

Israel Red Alert API — real-time and historical rocket/missile alert data. Query alerts by city, time range, generate shelter time stats. Uses redalert.orielhaim.com (socket.io for real-time) and tzevaadom.co.il (REST for history).

Red Alert — Israel Emergency Alerts

Real-time and historical alert data for Israeli cities. Track rocket alerts, calculate shelter time, generate charts.

Get an API Key

Sign up at https://redalert.orielhaim.com/ to get your API key. Store it as env var RED_ALERT_API_KEY.

This skill is a wrapper around the RedAlert API — it provides convenient CLI tools for querying, analyzing, and visualizing alert data.

• references/ENDPOINTS.md

Data Sources

Source	Type	Auth	Use For
api.tzevaadom.co.il	REST	None	Alert history (last ~24h, 50 records)
redalert.orielhaim.com	Socket.IO	RED_ALERT_API_KEY	Real-time alerts, status

Setup

bash

# API key is stored as Fly secret: RED_ALERT_API_KEY
# Socket.io client needed for real-time
cd /data/clawd/skills/red-alert/scripts && npm install

Quick Usage

Get Alert History (REST)

bash

# Last ~24h of alerts nationwide (50 most recent alert groups)
curl -s "https://api.tzevaadom.co.il/alerts-history" -o /tmp/alerts.json

Response format:

json

[{
  "id": 5718,
  "description": null,
  "alerts": [{
    "time": 1772352828,     // Unix timestamp
    "cities": ["כפר סבא", "תל אביב"],
    "threat": 0,            // 0=rockets, 1=aircraft, 5=infiltration
    "isDrill": false
  }]
}]

Check System Status

bash

curl -s -H "Accept: application/json" "https://redalert.orielhaim.com/api/status"

Real-Time Alerts (Socket.IO)

bash

node /data/clawd/skills/red-alert/scripts/realtime.mjs
# Listens for: alert, rockets, hostileAircraftIntrusion, tsunami, earthquake

Analyze Shelter Time for a City

bash

node /data/clawd/skills/red-alert/scripts/analyze.mjs --city "כפר סבא" --since "2026-02-28T08:00"
# Outputs: alert count, shelter sessions, total shelter time, hourly data as JSON

Threat Types

Code	Type (Hebrew)	Type (English)	Shelter Time
0	רקטות וטילים	Rockets & Missiles	15s-90s (varies by city)
1	חדירת כלי טיס עוין	Hostile Aircraft	10 min
2	רעידת אדמה	Earthquake	Until safe
3	צונאמי	Tsunami	Evacuate coast
5	חדירת מחבלים	Terrorist Infiltration	Stay inside

Shelter Times by Region (for rockets)

Region	Time
Gaza envelope	15 seconds
Ashkelon, Sderot	30 seconds
Beer Sheva, Ashdod	45 seconds
Tel Aviv, Kfar Saba, Netanya	90 seconds
Haifa, Hadera	60 seconds
North (border)	30 seconds

Combining with Chart/Table Skills

bash

# Generate hourly alert chart
node /data/clawd/skills/red-alert/scripts/analyze.mjs --city "כפר סבא" --since "2026-02-28T08:00" --format chart-json \
  | node /data/clawd/skills/chart-image/scripts/chart.mjs --type bar --dark --title "Kfar Saba Alerts" --output alerts.png

# Generate shelter session table
node /data/clawd/skills/red-alert/scripts/analyze.mjs --city "כפר סבא" --since "2026-02-28T08:00" --format table-json \
  | node /data/clawd/skills/table-image/scripts/table.mjs --dark --title "Shelter Sessions" --output shelter.png

Architecture Notes

• redalert.orielhaim.com — Oriel Haim's service. Polls Pikud HaOref, redistributes via Socket.IO. Has better-auth for API key management. REST endpoints blocked by Cloudflare challenge (except /api/status).
• api.tzevaadom.co.il — Free REST API, no auth needed, returns last ~24h of alert history.
• Pikud HaOref direct (oref.org.il) — Blocked from cloud IPs (Akamai WAF).

Limitations

• History limited to ~24h (50 groups) from tzevaadom
• For longer history, would need to store alerts ourselves via socket.io listener
• Real-time requires persistent socket.io connection
