Earthquakes Scraper
Fetches recent earthquake events from the USGS FDSN API. Returns magnitude, location, depth, tsunami flags, and event URLs. Filter by minimum magnitude, time window, or geographic radius.
No API key required — USGS data is public domain.
Modes
- recent — quakes since N days above min magnitude
- significant — magnitude 6+ events
Input
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
days | integer | 1 | Look-back window in days |
minMagnitude | number | 2.5 | Minimum magnitude |
limit | integer | 50 | Max results |
latitude/longitude | number | — | Optional radius center |
Example input
{"mode": "recent", "days": 7, "minMagnitude": 3.0}
Output
Structured JSON pushed to the run's dataset — one object per result. Errors (invalid input, API failures, empty results) are returned as structured error objects instead of failing the run.
Use cases
- News & alerting
- Risk monitoring for insurers
- Education & science apps

Cost
Pay-per-result: $0.001 per result item (volume discounts available). Free to try — runs are billed only for results produced.
