Track earthquakes worldwide using the official USGS (United States Geological Survey) API. Access real-time and historical seismic data — millions of events dating back to 1900.

What data does it extract?

For each earthquake event, the Actor extracts:

FieldDescription
MagnitudeEarthquake magnitude (Richter scale)
LocationHuman-readable description (e.g., "15 km SW of Los Angeles, CA")
TimeWhen the earthquake occurred (UTC)
CoordinatesLatitude, longitude, and depth in km
TsunamiWhether a tsunami warning was issued
Alert LevelPAGER alert level (green, yellow, orange, red)
SignificanceUSGS significance score (0–1000+)
Felt ReportsNumber of "Did You Feel It?" reports
Event URLLink to full USGS event page

Use cases

  • Insurance companies — Assess seismic risk for underwriting and claims analysis across regions
  • Real estate investors — Evaluate earthquake risk for properties in seismic zones (California, Pacific Northwest, etc.)
  • Emergency management — Monitor seismic activity and plan disaster response resources
  • Construction firms — Track seismic patterns to inform building code compliance and structural engineering
  • Researchers — Analyze global seismicity patterns, fault line activity, and tectonic plate movements
  • Journalists — Report on earthquake events with accurate magnitude, location, and impact data
  • Travel industry — Monitor destination safety for travelers and insurance providers

Geographic filter examples

California earthquakes:

  • minLatitude: 32.5, maxLatitude: 42.0, minLongitude: -124.5, maxLongitude: -114.0

Japan earthquakes:
