# Saylor Innovations NZ Earthquake Feed

> Saylor Innovations NZ Earthquake Feed is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-18).

Returns recent New Zealand earthquake data from GeoNet including magnitude, depth, felt intensity (MMI), nearest locality, coordinates, and time, filterable by minimum MMI.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://saylorinnovations.com/api/hazards/nz-quakes?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

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 saylor-innovations-nz-earthquake-feed-f2feb424
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest New Zealand earthquakes from GeoNet that had a felt intensity of at least MMI 4 and tell me how many there were, where the strongest one hit, and how deep it was.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or recent New Zealand earthquake data specifically sourced from GeoNet, with the ability to filter by felt intensity (MMI). Prefer this over generic global earthquake feeds when your use case is NZ-specific seismic monitoring, public safety alerting, or research requiring MMI-filtered results with locality context.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid MMI value outside -1 to 8 range returns an error or empty result
- GeoNet upstream unavailability causes data fetch failure
- No earthquakes matching the specified MMI threshold returns empty earthquakes array with matched count of 0
- Malformed query parameter type causes request rejection

## How this service works

Recent New Zealand earthquakes from GeoNet - magnitude, depth, felt intensity (MMI), nearest locality, time and coordinates, filterable by intensity

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a list of recent NZ earthquakes (each with magnitude, depth, coordinates, nearest locality, timestamp, and MMI felt intensity), a count of matched and returned results, the single strongest earthquake object, the applied minimum MMI filter, and a source attribution string with optional caveat note.
