Output
Returns structured earthquake event data from the USGS live catalog, including each event's magnitude, geographic location (latitude/longitude, region name), depth in kilometers, and event timestamp. Typically returns the most recent seismic events globally as a list of records.
Example use cases
Disaster response situational awareness
“Have there been any significant earthquakes in the last hour anywhere in the world? Show me magnitude, depth, and location for anything above magnitude 5.”
Regional seismic safety check
“I'm in Japan — pull the latest USGS earthquake data and tell me if there have been any notable seismic events nearby in the past 24 hours.”
Automated earthquake news alert
“Fetch the current USGS real-time earthquake feed and alert me if any quake in the list has a magnitude of 6.0 or higher so I can report on it.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agentdatum.com/api/v1/d/usgs-quakeWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need immediate, no-registration access to live global earthquake data proxied from USGS, especially in agentic or automated workflows that require micropayment-based access. Prefer over direct USGS API calls when you need a consistent paid-API wrapper compatible with x402 payment flows. Not suitable if you need historical archives, custom time-range filtering, or advanced geospatial queries beyond the basic catalog feed.
Side effects
- USGS upstream source unavailable or rate-limited — proxy may return 502 or timeout
- No recent earthquake events to report — empty result set
- Payment not processed or x402 authentication failure — 402 response
- Malformed request or unsupported HTTP method — 400/405 error
