How this service works
Which earthquakes have just happened? Recent USGS events worldwide or within a radius of a named place, with magnitude, depth, tsunami flag and felt reports
Output
A list of recent earthquake events from USGS data, each including event time, location name, latitude/longitude, magnitude, depth in kilometers, tsunami flag (boolean), and number of felt reports. Results are filtered by the requested time window, geographic center and radius, magnitude threshold, and capped at the requested event limit.
Example use cases
Post-event disaster check
“Were there any earthquakes above magnitude 5 near Kathmandu in the last 2 days? I want to know the depth, whether there's a tsunami flag, and how many people felt them.”
Global seismic activity briefing
“Give me the 20 biggest earthquakes worldwide in the last 7 days — magnitude, depth, location, and whether any triggered tsunami warnings.”
Local safety monitoring
“Have there been any earthquakes within 200 km of Seattle in the past 3 days? Show me anything above magnitude 3.0 with felt reports.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://eltociear-skill-audit.hf.space/world/earthquakesWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need near-real-time USGS earthquake data filtered by geography, recency, and magnitude. It is ideal for disaster monitoring, safety checks near a named city or region, or generating seismic briefings. Prefer it over static geological databases when freshness (events within the last 30 days) and felt-report data matter. It covers global events and supports place-name-based radius queries without requiring the caller to supply coordinates.
Side effects
- Location name not recognized or geocodable — returns error or falls back to global search
- days parameter out of range (>30) — returns validation error
- radius_km too large may return noisy global results
- USGS data feed temporarily unavailable — upstream timeout
- No events match the filter criteria — returns empty list
- limit exceeded (>100) — clamped or rejected
