How this service works
SYNTHORA usgs-earthquakes: latest earthquakes (M>=4.5 default, tunable) with PAGER alert level, tsunami flag and ACTIVE SEISMIC CLUSTER detection (>=3 events same zone in 24h) — the actionable signal for insurance-risk and disaster prediction markets. Source: USGS FDSN (official US, real-time, no key). $0.005 USDC x402 Base.
Output
Returns a list of recent earthquake events sourced from USGS FDSN, each with magnitude, location, depth, timestamp, PAGER alert level (green/yellow/orange/red), tsunami flag, and a seismic cluster indicator flagging zones with 3 or more events within 24 hours.
Example use cases
Insurance risk exposure assessment
“Get me all earthquakes magnitude 4.5 and above from the past 24 hours, highlight any with a PAGER orange or red alert level, and tell me if any zones have active seismic clusters — I'm updating our catastrophe risk model.”
Disaster prediction market signal
“I'm trading an earthquake prediction market — pull the latest USGS seismic data and tell me if there are any active clusters of 3 or more events in the same zone today along with tsunami flags.”
Real-time tsunami warning monitoring
“Are there any recent earthquakes that triggered a tsunami flag? I need magnitude, location, and PAGER alert level for anything significant in the last few hours.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.hergertsynthora.com/v1/usgs-earthquakesWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, official USGS earthquake data enriched with actionable risk signals — specifically the PAGER alert level, tsunami flag, and seismic cluster detection — rather than raw USGS feeds that require your own post-processing. Ideal for insurance risk models, disaster prediction markets, and automated monitoring agents that need an immediately actionable signal without building their own FDSN parsing layer.
Side effects
- USGS FDSN upstream outage returns empty or error response
- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance via x402
- Overly restrictive magnitude filter returns zero events
- No seismic clusters detected when activity is low (not an error, but may surprise callers)
- Rate limiting if called too frequently
