USGS Earthquake Hazards (Independent Publisher) (Preview)

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) monitors and reports on earthquakes, assesses earthquake impacts and hazards, and conducts targeted research on the causes and effects of earthquakes. USGS undertakes these activities as part of the larger National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), a four-agency partnership established by Congress.

Parameters

Name Key Required Type Description
End Time
endtime string

Limit to events on or before the specified end time. NOTE: All times use ISO8601 Date/Time format. Unless a timezone is specified, UTC is assumed.

Start Time
starttime string

Limit to events on or after the specified start time. NOTE: All times use ISO8601 Date/Time format. Unless a timezone is specified, UTC is assumed.

Updated After
updatedafter string

Limit to events updated after the specified time. NOTE: All times use ISO8601 Date/Time format. Unless a timezone is specified, UTC is assumed.

Min Latitude
minlatitude number

Limit to events with a latitude larger than the specified minimum. NOTE: min values must be less than max values.

Min Longitude
minlongitude number

Limit to events with a longitude larger than the specified minimum. NOTE: rectangles may cross the date line by using a min longitude < -180 or max longitude > 180. NOTE: min values must be less than max values.

Max Latitude
maxlatitude number

Limit to events with a latitude smaller than the specified maximum. NOTE: min values must be less than max values.

Max Longitude
maxlongitude number

Limit to events with a longitude smaller than the specified maximum. NOTE: rectangles may cross the date line by using a min longitude < -180 or max longitude > 180. NOTE: min values must be less than max values.

Latitude
latitude number

Specify the latitude to be used for a radius search.

Longitude
longitude number

Specify the longitude to be used for a radius search.

Max Radius
maxradius number

Limit to events within the specified maximum number of degrees from the geographic point defined by the latitude and longitude parameters. NOTE: This option is mutually exclusive with max radius KM and specifying both will result in an error.

Max Radius KM
maxradiuskm number

Limit to events within the specified maximum number of kilometers from the geographic point defined by the latitude and longitude parameters. NOTE: This option is mutually exclusive with max radius and specifying both will result in an error.

Catalog
catalog string

Limit to events from a specified catalog.

Contributor
contributor string

Limit to events contributed by a specified contributor.

Event ID
eventid string

Select a specific event by ID; event identifiers are data center specific.

Include All Magnitudes
includeallmagnitudes boolean

Specify if all magnitudes for the event should be included, default is data center dependent but is suggested to be the preferred magnitude only.

Include All Origins
includeallorigins boolean

Specify if all origins for the event should be included, default is data center dependent but is suggested to be the preferred origin only.

Include Deleted
includedeleted boolean

Specify if deleted products and events should be included. The value only returns only deleted events.

Include Superseded
includesuperseded boolean

Specify if superseded products should be included. This also includes all deleted products, and is mutually exclusive to the include deleted parameter. NOTE: Only works when specifying event ID parameter.

Max Depth
maxdepth number

Limit to events with depth less than the specified maximum.

Max Magnitude
maxmagnitude number

Limit to events with a magnitude smaller than the specified maximum.

Min Depth
mindepth number

Min Magnitude
minmagnitude number

Limit to events with a magnitude larger than the specified minimum.

Alert Level
alertlevel string

Limit to events with a specific PAGER alert level.

Event Type
eventtype string

Limit to events of a specific type. NOTE: “earthquake” will filter non-earthquake events.

Max CDI
maxcdi number
