# USGS Major Earthquakes (Past Week) via Suverse Proxy

> USGS Major Earthquakes (Past Week) via Suverse Proxy is a paid API for AI agents from proxy.suverse.io, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns all earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 and above worldwide from the past 7 days, sourced from the USGS real-time feed, including magnitude, location, time, and coordinates.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://proxy.suverse.io/v1/data/suverse-quakes-week-major
- Price: $0.002/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 usgs-major-earthquakes-past-week-via-suverse-proxy-ed92d893 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest USGS data on major earthquakes — magnitude 4.5 and above — from the past week and show me where they happened, how strong they were, and when.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a no-auth, pay-per-call global earthquake feed scoped to significant events (M4.5+) over the past week. Prefer this over raw USGS API access when operating in an agentic x402 payment context where key management is undesirable. Best suited for monitoring agents, disaster-alert pipelines, or weekly briefing workflows that don't need historical data beyond 7 days or finer magnitude granularity.

## Known failure modes

- USGS upstream feed unavailable or delayed — may return stale or empty data
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — request rejected if USDC payment of $0.002 not processed
- Malformed POST body — endpoint requires correct JSON structure with type, method, bodyType fields
- Network timeout if USGS source is slow to respond
- Empty result set if no earthquakes above 4.5 occurred in the past week (rare but possible)

## How this service works

Earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 and above worldwide in the past week from the USGS feed, no key. Returns magnitude, place, time, and coordinates. For AI agents monitoring significant seismic activity.

## Output

Returns a list of earthquake events from the past 7 days with magnitude 4.5 or greater, each including the numeric magnitude, a human-readable place description, the UTC timestamp of the event, and geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude, depth).
