# Vibesprings Earthquake Intelligence API

> Vibesprings Earthquake Intelligence API is a paid API for AI agents from vibesprings.net, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15, last successful call 2026-07-06).

Search and filter recent seismic events by location and radius, returning magnitude, depth, distance, and timestamps for any coordinate center.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://vibesprings.net/api/earthquakes
- Price: $0.002/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Last successful call: 2026-07-06
- Success rate: 50% of calls made through Zero
- Activations on Zero: 3
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/vibesprings-net-c9cb4fc9
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_KXvmruWs75aBjIcCWBxys

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 vibesprings-net-c9cb4fc9
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up all earthquakes magnitude 3.0 or higher within 300 km of San Francisco over the past 14 days, including their depth and exact timestamps?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable seismic event data around a specific geographic point — especially for emergency response dashboards, disaster tracking pipelines, or tectonic research queries requiring magnitude thresholds and depth data.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'location' parameter returns validation error
- Invalid coordinate format causes geocoding failure
- Radius or days value outside allowed range returns error
- No earthquakes matching criteria returns empty result set
- Unknown location name cannot be geocoded

## How this service works

Global seismic event monitoring and earthquake intelligence database. Search and filter recent earthquakes within a specified radius from any coordinate center. Returns Richter magnitude scale ratings, hypocenter depth, geographic distance, and exact occurrence timestamps for emergency response, disaster tracking, and tectonic research.

## Output

A list of earthquake events matching the search criteria, each including Richter magnitude, hypocenter depth, geographic distance from the center point, and exact UTC occurrence timestamp.
