Returns a structured JSON object containing a list of seismic events, each including earthquake magnitude, geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude), depth in kilometers, location description, and UTC timestamp of occurrence. The data is sourced directly from the USGS earthquake feed.
Example use cases
Post-event situational awareness check
“Was there a significant earthquake anywhere in the world in the last 12 hours? Show me anything above magnitude 5.0 with its location and depth.”
Regional seismic activity monitoring
“Pull the latest USGS earthquake data for the Pacific Ring of Fire — I want to see all quakes from the past week sorted by magnitude.”
Disaster response data enrichment
“I need current earthquake data from the USGS for Japan in the last 48 hours — give me the magnitude, coordinates, and depth for each event.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://rotaryagency.uk/api/free/usgs-earthquakes?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, real-time or recent earthquake data sourced directly from the authoritative USGS feed without building your own USGS API integration. Ideal for agents that need seismic event data on demand via a simple pay-per-call model at $0.002/call, avoiding the overhead of managing USGS API keys or quotas directly.
Side effects
- USGS upstream feed temporarily unavailable causing empty or error response
- No earthquakes matching the specified filters (returns empty event list)
- Rate limiting or payment failure returning HTTP 402
- Invalid query parameters resulting in a 400 error
- Stale data if USGS feed has not updated recently
