## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 earthquake records

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Europe-Mediterranean Earthquakes (EMSC Official) 🌍

**Earthquake catalog for Europe, the Mediterranean and worldwide** from the official EMSC-CSEM Seismic Portal FDSN feed — magnitude, precise time, Flynn region, coordinates and depth. Filter by date range, magnitude and region (TURKEY, GREECE, ITALY, SPAIN...).

No login, no API key. Official scientific source.

### What you get (per earthquake)

```json
{
  "eventId": "20260814_0000123",
  "time": "2026-08-14T09:32:11.5Z",
  "magnitude": 4.8,
  "magnitudeType": "mb",
  "region": "WESTERN TURKEY",
  "latitude": 38.42,
  "longitude": 27.14,
  "depthKm": 10,
  "authority": "EMSC",
  "source": "EMSC-CSEM Seismic Portal (official)"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Risk & insurance analytics** — historical and live seismicity per region
- **News & alerting** — run on a schedule, diff for new events, trigger webhooks
- **Research & education** — clean catalog exports (JSON/CSV/Excel) for any date range
- **Dashboards** — feed Grafana/Sheets/DBs via Apify integrations

### Input

- `daysBack` or `startDate`/`endDate`
- `minMagnitude` (default 3), `regionContains` (e.g. "GREECE")

### Pricing

Pay per event: you are charged only per earthquake record returned — no subscriptions, no minimums.

### Notes

- Data by EMSC-CSEM (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre) public FDSN web service.
- Coverage is worldwide with strongest detail in the Euro-Mediterranean region.
- Issues? Open an issue — response < 24h.

# Actor input Schema

## `daysBack` (type: `integer`):

How many days back from today.

## `startDate` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD. Overrides 'Days back'.

## `endDate` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to today.

## `minMagnitude` (type: `integer`):

Minimum magnitude.

## `regionContains` (type: `string`):

Only events whose Flynn region contains this text, e.g. TURKEY, GREECE, ITALY, SPAIN.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of earthquakes to return.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Apify Proxy (automatic) is recommended.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "daysBack": 7,
  "minMagnitude": 3,
  "maxResults": 1000,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "daysBack": 7,
    "minMagnitude": 3
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gmpsignal/europe-mediterranean-earthquakes-emsc-official-data").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "daysBack": 7,
    "minMagnitude": 3,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("gmpsignal/europe-mediterranean-earthquakes-emsc-official-data").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "daysBack": 7,
  "minMagnitude": 3
}' |
apify call gmpsignal/europe-mediterranean-earthquakes-emsc-official-data --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gmpsignal/europe-mediterranean-earthquakes-emsc-official-data"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
