GeoNet Scraper
Pulls recent New Zealand earthquakes from GeoNet, the GNS Science monitoring network. No login, no proxy, no browser.
Input
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
minIntensity | integer | MMI floor, -1 to 8. Default 3. |
minMagnitude | number | Magnitude floor applied after fetching. Default 0. |
maxDepthKm | number | Optional depth ceiling. |
maxItems | integer | Cap, 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. qualitydistinguishesbest(reviewed by an analyst) frompreliminaryandautomatic; recent events are usually automatic and may be revised.- MMI
-1returns everything the network recorded, including events nobody felt — useful for coverage, noisy for monitoring.
