Get recent earthquakes worldwide from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) seismic network. Returns location, magnitude, depth, time, and coordinates for each event. Filter by minimum magnitude (default 2.5) and limit results. Useful for seismology dashboards, natural disaster monitoring tools, safety alert systems, and educational apps about plate tectonics. Data is updated in near real-time.

Find earthquakes near a specific location within a configurable radius (default 500 km). Provide latitude and longitude coordinates to search around. Returns matching earthquakes with distance from your point. Useful for location-based safety apps, property risk assessment tools, local seismic activity monitors, and travel apps that inform users about nearby geological activity.

Get only the most significant recent earthquakes (magnitude 6.0 and above) from USGS. These are the events that can cause major damage and are felt across wide areas. Returns location, magnitude, depth, and time. Useful for disaster response dashboards, news apps covering natural disasters, and global risk assessment tools that focus on high-impact seismic events.
