## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need near-real-time volcanic activity data sourced specifically from the authoritative Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program weekly reports. It is well-suited for aviation hazard monitoring, emergency management workflows, geohazard briefings, and complementing seismic/earthquake feeds. Prefer it over general news search when you need structured, curated volcanic event data rather than social or media coverage.

## Known failure modes

- No new activity in the requested time window returns an empty result set
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. missing unit) may return a 400 error or be ignored
- Limit values outside 1–50 are rejected by schema validation
- If the Smithsonian source is temporarily unavailable, the feed may return stale or no results
- Misspelled volcano name in query 'q' may return zero matches

## How this service works

Worldwide volcanic activity for hazard and aviation agents: eruptions, ash plumes, alert-level changes and unrest, from the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program weekly activity report. Complements the USGS earthquake wire.

## Output

A list of volcanic activity items from the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program, each including the volcano name, type of activity (eruption, ash plume, unrest, alert-level change), source attribution, and publication timestamp. Results can be filtered by keyword search, limited in count, or scoped to a recent time window.
