Japan Earthquake Feed API (JMA)
Live Japan earthquake data from the official JMA feed: magnitude, intensity, epicenter names, coordinates, depth, event time, and report time.
Live earthquake data for Japan from the official Japan Meteorological Agency public feed.
Use this Actor when you need a simple API for recent earthquakes in and around Japan: magnitude, epicenter in Japanese and English, maximum JMA seismic intensity, coordinates, depth, event time, and report time.
Why use it
- Official JMA source, not a scraped news page.
- Structured rows ready for dashboards, alerts, maps, RAG, and monitoring bots.
- Japanese and English epicenter names in the same output.
- No proxy or browser dependency, so runs are fast and cheap.
Common use cases
- Disaster monitoring dashboards for Japan operations.
- Alert enrichment for earthquakes above a chosen magnitude.
- Location intelligence and risk workflows for logistics, travel, insurance, and facilities.
- AI agents that need current Japan seismic data instead of stale training data.
