Earthquakes Scraper

Pull recent earthquakes worldwide with magnitude, location, depth, coordinates and tsunami flag. One clean record per event, ready for alerting, mapping, research and dashboards.

📥 Input · 📤 Output · 💰 Pricing · ▶️ Examples

Worldwide events most recent first

Magnitude & depth plus coordinates

JSON / CSV / Excel output formats

Who is it for

Use case	Who benefits
Alerting	Teams notifying on quakes above a magnitude threshold
Mapping	Builders plotting epicenters and depth on a map
Research	Analysts studying seismic activity over regions and time
Newsrooms	Reporters citing recent significant earthquakes

How to use it

1. Set the minimum magnitude (for example 2.5 for broad coverage, 4.5 for larger quakes).
2. Set Max Items to cap how many recent events to return.
3. Run it. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are results ordered? Earthquakes are returned most recent first, so the latest activity is always at the top.

What does the tsunami flag mean? It marks events flagged for possible tsunami relevance. It does not by itself mean a tsunami occurred.

Can I get only larger earthquakes? Yes. Raise the minimum magnitude, for example to 4.5 or 6, to keep only stronger events.

How fresh is the data? Events are read live at run time, so each record reflects the latest catalog at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
