GeoNet Scraper

Pulls recent New Zealand earthquakes from GeoNet, the GNS Science monitoring network. No login, no proxy, no browser.

Input

FieldTypeNotes
minIntensityintegerMMI floor, -1 to 8. Default 3.
minMagnitudenumberMagnitude floor applied after fetching. Default 0.
maxDepthKmnumberOptional depth ceiling.
maxItemsintegerCap, most recent first. Default 100.

Output

One row per quake: publicId, time, magnitude, depthKm, mmi, intensity, locality, quality, latitude, longitude, geonetUrl.

Notes

  • MMI is not magnitude. Modified Mercalli intensity describes how strongly an event was felt at the surface, so a deep M5 can score lower than a shallow M3. The API filters on MMI only, which is why magnitude and depth are applied as a second pass here.
  • GeoJSON coordinates are [longitude, latitude]. Reading them in the written order puts every New Zealand quake somewhere in Antarctica.
  • Magnitudes and depths come back at full floating-point precision — 4.126611580041339 — which is false precision for a seismic estimate, so they are rounded to two and one decimal places.
  • quality distinguishes best (reviewed by an analyst) from preliminary and automatic; recent events are usually automatic and may be revised.
  • MMI -1 returns everything the network recorded, including events nobody felt — useful for coverage, noisy for monitoring.
