Global Earthquake Events & Magnitude Search
Pricing
$0.80 / 1,000 earthquakes
USGS earthquake event scraper for date-window and magnitude searches. Filter by geographic bounds and export flat earthquake metadata as JSON for research datasets.
You can access the Global Earthquake Events & Magnitude Search programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.

It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
