Earthquake Scraper — Global USGS Feed by Magnitude & Area

Track earthquakes worldwide with the Earthquake Scraper. Pull a live, structured feed of seismic events — magnitude, place, time, depth, coordinates, tsunami flag and PAGER alert level — filtered by time window, magnitude, depth, bounding box or radius, and export each event as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Built for early-warning and alerting systems, news and media desks, insurance and risk models, mapping and GIS dashboards, and scientific research, it turns the raw seismic feed into a clean dataset you can drop into any product or workflow.

What it does

• 🌍 Global feed — earthquakes anywhere on Earth, updated continuously.
• 📏 Magnitude & depth filters — set a minimum/maximum magnitude and depth range.
• 🕒 Time windows — past hour, day, week, month, or a custom date range.
• 📍 Area search — a bounding box or a circular radius around any point.
• 🌊 Impact signals — tsunami flag, PAGER alert level, felt reports and significance.
• 📤 Export anywhere — JSON, CSV or Excel, or straight into an alert, map or dashboard.

How to use it

1. Pick a time window (or a custom date range).
2. Set a minimum magnitude and, optionally, an area (box or radius).
3. Run, and download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Input fields

Field	Description
Time window	Past hour, day, week, month, or a custom range.
Min / max magnitude	Magnitude bounds (e.g. 2.5, 6).
Min / max depth (km)	Depth range in kilometers.
Center lat/lon + radius	Circular search around a point.
Bounding box	Min/max latitude and longitude for a rectangular area.
Alert level	Filter by PAGER impact alert (green–red).
Sort order	Newest, oldest, or by magnitude.
Max earthquakes	Maximum number of events to collect.

Output fields

id, magnitude, magnitudeType, place, time, updated, longitude, latitude, depthKm, tsunami, alert, significance, felt, cdi, mmi, status, eventType, network, code, sources, nst, gap, rms, url, detailUrl.

Popular use cases

• Alerting & early warning — notify when a quake above a magnitude hits a region.
• News & media — auto-populate a live earthquake ticker or map.
• Insurance & risk — feed recent seismicity into exposure and catastrophe models.
• Mapping & GIS — plot events by magnitude, depth and location.
• Research & education — build historical seismicity datasets for any area and period.

FAQ

Do I need an account or key? No. Set your filters and run.

How current is the data? It reflects the live global seismic feed, including recent events within the last hour.

Can I search a specific region? Yes — use a bounding box, or a center point with a radius in kilometers.

How far back can I go? Use a custom date range to pull historical events for any period.

Can I export to Excel or Google Sheets? Yes — results download as JSON, CSV or Excel and integrate with alerts, maps and dashboards.
