USGS Earthquake Event Search
x402
USGS Earthquake Event Search is a paid API for AI agents from api.macaroonnetwork.com, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).
Search a bounded, normalized snapshot of significant recent USGS earthquake events, returning magnitude, time, depth, location, and stable ComCat links.

How this service works
Search a bounded, normalized snapshot of significant recent earthquake events with magnitude, time, depth, location, stable USGS links and provenance. Event-level reuse rights remain unknown because ComCat includes contributing seismic networks.
Output
Returns a bounded, normalized list of significant earthquake events including: event ID, magnitude, UTC timestamp, depth (km), geographic location name, coordinates, and a stable USGS ComCat permalink. Provenance metadata indicating contributing seismic networks is also included.
Example use cases
Post-disaster situational awareness briefing
“Pull recent earthquake events magnitude 6.0 or above from the past week anywhere in the world and summarize them with location, depth, and official USGS links so I can brief my emergency response team.”
Regional seismic risk research
“Find all significant earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest over the past 90 days, including their magnitudes and depths — I'm building a report on seismic risk for that region.”
Earthquake alert monitoring for a specific area
“Search for any earthquakes magnitude 4.5 or greater that occurred near Turkey in the last 14 days, with timestamps and USGS event links, so I can track aftershock activity.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.macaroonnetwork.com/execute/usgs-earthquake-event-search-v1When to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need normalized, provenance-tagged USGS earthquake data with stable ComCat links in a single structured call, especially for research, monitoring, or disaster response workflows. Prefer this over raw USGS APIs when you need bounded snapshots with consistent schema and built-in payment metering via x402. Not suitable if you need real-time streaming seismic feeds or waveform data.
Side effects
- No events found matching the given filters — returns empty result set
- Query parameters out of supported range (e.g. time window too large) — returns validation error
- USGS upstream snapshot may lag real-time by a short delay — very recent events may be missing
- Unknown reuse rights for some events due to contributing seismic network data in ComCat
