🌍 USGS Real-Time Earthquake Data — Apify Actor

Scrapes real-time earthquake data from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program GeoJSON feeds. No API key required.

Features

20 built-in feeds — filter by magnitude threshold (significant, 4.5+, 2.5+, 1.0+, all) and time window (hour, day, week, month).
Advanced filtering — minimum/maximum magnitude, depth range, PAGER alert level, tsunami-only flag, and geographic bounding box.
Sorting — by time, magnitude, or depth (ascending/descending).
Structured output — flat JSON records with 30+ fields pushed to the Apify dataset.
Run summary — stored in the default key-value store under the key summary.

Input Example

{
    "feed": "4.5_week",
    "minMagnitude": 5.0,
    "alertLevel": "any",
    "tsunamiOnly": false,
    "boundingBox": "24.0,60.0,38.0,78.0",
    "maxResults": 50,
    "sortBy": "magnitude_desc"
}

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`feed`	string	`all_day`	USGS feed to query (see dropdown in UI)
`minMagnitude`	number	—	Minimum magnitude filter
`maxMagnitude`	number	—	Maximum magnitude filter
`minDepthKm`	number	—	Minimum depth in km
`maxDepthKm`	number	—	Maximum depth in km
`alertLevel`	string	`any`	PAGER alert level: `green`, `yellow`, `orange`, `red`
`tsunamiOnly`	boolean	`false`	Only return tsunami-flagged events
`boundingBox`	string	—	`minLat,minLon,maxLat,maxLon`
`maxResults`	integer	`0`	Limit output rows (0 = unlimited)
`sortBy`	string	`time_desc`	Sort order before limiting

Output Fields

Each record in the dataset contains:

Field	Description
`id`	USGS event ID
`title`	Human-readable title (e.g. "M 5.2 - 10km S of Tokyo")
`place`	Location description
`magnitude`	Earthquake magnitude
`magnitude_type`	Scale used (e.g. `ml`, `mb`, `mw`)
`depth_km`	Depth in kilometers
`latitude`	Latitude (decimal degrees)
`longitude`	Longitude (decimal degrees)
`time_utc`	Event time (ISO-8601)
`time_epoch_ms`	Event time (epoch milliseconds)
`updated_utc`	Last update time (ISO-8601)
`felt_reports`	Number of "felt" reports submitted
`cdi`	Community Decimal Intensity
`mmi`	Modified Mercalli Intensity
`alert`	PAGER alert level
`tsunami`	Tsunami flag (1 = warning issued)
`significance`	Significance score (0–1000+)
`event_type`	Type of seismic event
`status`	Review status (`automatic`, `reviewed`)
`usgs_url`	Link to USGS event page
`detail_api_url`	Link to detailed GeoJSON for this event

Usage Tips

Monitor a region: Set boundingBox to your area and schedule the actor to run hourly.
Track major quakes: Use feed = significant_month with sortBy = magnitude_desc.
Tsunami alerts: Enable tsunamiOnly = true to focus on tsunami-associated events.
Webhook / Integration: Connect the dataset to a webhook to get notified of new earthquakes.

Data Source

All data comes from USGS public GeoJSON feeds:
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/geojson.php

No API key is required. Data is updated every few minutes by USGS.
