Usgs: Search Earthquakes
Usgs via Parse · government_public
Query the USGS earthquake catalog. Returns seismic events matching the given time range, magnitude bounds, and optional geographic bounding box. Results are ordered by the chosen sort and paginated via offset. Each event includes its ID, magnitude, place description, coordinates (longitude, latitude, depth in km), occurrence time (epoch ms), last-updated time (epoch ms), review status, and USGS detail URL. Search the USGS earthquake catalog for seismic events filtered by time range, magnitude, and geographic area. Fulfilled by Parse from earthquake.usgs.gov.

Request fields
- limit (integer): Maximum number of events to return (1–20000).
- offset (integer): 1-based offset for pagination. First page is offset=1.
- endtime (string, required): End of the time window, ISO format YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.
- orderby (string): Sort order for results.: Allowed values: time, time-asc, magnitude, magnitude-asc
- starttime (string, required): Start of the time window, ISO format YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.
- max_latitude (string): Northern boundary of bounding box, decimal degrees [-90, 90].
- min_latitude (string): Southern boundary of bounding box, decimal degrees [-90, 90].
- max_longitude (string): Eastern boundary of bounding box, decimal degrees [-360, 360].
- max_magnitude (string): Maximum magnitude filter (e.g. '7.0'). Omitting applies no upper bound.
- min_longitude (string): Western boundary of bounding box, decimal degrees [-360, 360].
- min_magnitude (string): Minimum magnitude filter (e.g. '2.5'). Omitting returns all magnitudes.
