## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Japan Earthquake Feed API (JMA)

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.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `minMagnitude` | number | Return only earthquakes at or above this magnitude. Default `0`. |
| `limit` | integer | Maximum number of recent records. Default `50`, max `844`. |

```json
{ "minMagnitude": 4.5, "limit": 100 }
```

### Output

One dataset row per earthquake:

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `time` | Earthquake occurrence time |
| `reported_at` | JMA report time |
| `epicenter_ja` / `epicenter_en` | Epicenter name in Japanese and English |
| `magnitude` | Magnitude, when available |
| `max_intensity` | JMA maximum seismic intensity code |
| `latitude` / `longitude` | Epicenter coordinates |
| `depth_km` | Depth in kilometers |
| `title` | JMA event title |

# Actor input Schema

## `minMagnitude` (type: `number`):

Return only earthquakes at or above this magnitude. Use 0 to include all events.

## `limit` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of recent earthquake records to return.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "minMagnitude": 4.5,
  "limit": 100
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `earthquakes` (type: `string`):

Recent Japan-area earthquakes from the official JMA feed

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("kittenish_brill/jp-earthquake-feed").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 = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("kittenish_brill/jp-earthquake-feed").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():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call kittenish_brill/jp-earthquake-feed --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,kittenish_brill/jp-earthquake-feed"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
