x402
Vextorium Earthquake Search API is a paid API for AI agents from api.vextorium.com, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).
Returns recent earthquake events near a given location from USGS, filtered by time period, radius, and minimum magnitude.

How this service works
Recent earthquakes worldwide from the USGS: magnitude, place, depth, time, PAGER damage alert, tsunami flag and felt reports; filter by minimum magnitude, period (hour to month) and distance to coordinates.
Output
A JSON object containing the number of earthquakes found, the queried time period, the data source attribution (USGS), the minimum magnitude filter applied, and an array of earthquake events each with latitude, longitude, ISO date, magnitude, depth in km, place name, tsunami flag, PAGER alert level, direction from query point, distance in km, and a link to the USGS event page.
Example use cases
Seismic safety check before travel
“Can you pull up all earthquakes magnitude 5 or higher within 300 km of Kathmandu (lat 27.7172, lon 85.3240) in the last month? I want to know if there's been unusual seismic activity there recently.”
Real-time disaster monitoring alert
“Get me the most recent earthquakes within 100 km of Port-au-Prince, Haiti (lat 18.5944, lon -72.3074) from the past 24 hours — any magnitude, up to 50 results — so I can check for aftershock sequences.”
Research on regional seismicity trends
“Fetch up to 200 earthquakes of at least magnitude 3.0 within 500 km of Anchorage, Alaska (lat 61.2181, lon -149.9003) over the past month so I can analyze the frequency and depth patterns.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/v1/earthquakes?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, queryable earthquake data filtered by geography, time, and magnitude — especially when USGS attribution is required or when building geospatial safety, monitoring, or research workflows. Prefer this over scraping USGS directly since it handles the query formatting, parsing, and filtering, and charges only $0.003 per call via x402.
Side effects
- No earthquakes found matching filters — returns empty array with found:0
- Invalid lat/lon values outside valid ranges may produce unexpected results
- Very large radius or long period with low magnitude threshold may hit result limit (max 200)
- USGS upstream service unavailable — API may return error or empty response
- Invalid period enum value causes request rejection
