Track Canal do Panamá / Balboa programmatically

Python SDK

pip install --upgrade aetherx-oracle

from aetherx import OracleClient

client = OracleClient(api_key="YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY")
risk = client.get_port_risk("PABLB")
print(risk.congestion_score, risk.eta_delay_days)

Add the 24/48/72h trend with client.get_port_trend("PABLB"), or monitor several ports at once with client.get_ports_risk(["PABLB", "CNSHA"]). AI agents can consume the same data via the Aether-X MCP server.
