# ForgeMesh Global Earthquake Feed

> ForgeMesh Global Earthquake Feed is a paid API for AI agents from x402.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns the latest global earthquakes above a specified minimum magnitude, including location, magnitude, depth, time, and tsunami flag, updated every few minutes.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://x402.forgemesh.io/geo-earthquakes
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-13
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/forgemesh-global-earthquake-feed-f055b2b2
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_8VCLW-bRHJWn1pqkmMH5t

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability forgemesh-global-earthquake-feed-f055b2b2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest global earthquakes above magnitude 5 from the real-time seismic feed and flag any that have a tsunami warning.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a global snapshot of all recent seismic activity above a threshold magnitude, without specifying a geographic area. Prefer this over the nearby-search endpoint when broad situational awareness is needed rather than proximity to a specific point.

## Known failure modes

- min_magnitude out of expected range returns empty or error response
- upstream USGS feed unavailable causes stale or failed response
- malformed min_magnitude string causes 400-level error
- payment not settled causes 402 Payment Required
- cache lag up to 5 minutes may miss very recent events

## How this service works

Earthquake feed API: the latest global earthquakes above a minimum magnitude from a real-time seismic monitoring feed — location, magnitude, depth, time, tsunami flag. Updated every few minutes; cached 5 minutes. Use for risk monitoring, logistics rerouting, insurance triggers, and news agents. Public-domain US government data, attributed.

## Output

A list of recent earthquakes worldwide, each with coordinates, magnitude, depth in km, event timestamp, and a tsunami flag, sourced from real-time USGS data cached up to 5 minutes.
