+## Dashboard API Reference
+
+The dashboard exposes a REST API (default port 8080):
+
+### Core Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| `/api/health` | GET | System health check |
+| `/api/status` | GET | Full system status with health scores |
+| `/api/nodes` | GET | Connected mesh nodes |
+| `/api/messages` | GET | Recent mesh messages |
+
+### Environmental Data
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| `/api/env/earthquakes` | GET | Recent earthquakes |
+| `/api/env/weather` | GET | Weather conditions and alerts |
+| `/api/env/fires` | GET | Active wildfires from NIFC |
+| `/api/env/hotspots` | GET | NASA FIRMS satellite detections |
+| `/api/env/traffic` | GET | Traffic incidents |
+| `/api/env/water` | GET | Stream gauge readings |
+| `/api/env/space` | GET | Space weather data |
+| `/api/env/air` | GET | Air quality readings |
+
+### Alerts
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| `/api/alerts/active` | GET | Currently active alerts |
+| `/api/alerts/history` | GET | Historical alerts (`?severity=`, `?source=`, `?limit=`, `?offset=`) |
+| `/api/alerts/{id}/ack` | POST | Acknowledge an alert |
+| `/api/subscriptions` | GET | Alert subscriptions |
+
+### WebSocket
+
+Connect to `/ws` for real-time updates:
+
+```javascript
+const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8080/ws');
+ws.onmessage = (event) => {
+  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
+  // data.type: 'message', 'alert', 'node_update', 'health_update'
+};
+```
+
 ## Message Chunking
 
 Long responses are split into mesh-friendly chunks with sentence-aware splitting, configurable limits, and continuation prompts. Command output (like `!health`) packs multiple lines into 2-3 messages using newlines within each message to minimize airtime usage.
