USGS · public domain

Live earthquake API impact-sorted, worldwide.

Worldwide earthquakes from USGS in real time — magnitude, location, depth and PAGER impact alert.

The call

Keyless over MCP, or one REST call with a free key. Every datapoint is provenance-stamped and citeable.

# REST (free key)
curl -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" "https://dynamicfeed.ai/earthquakes?min_magnitude=4&period=week"

# MCP (keyless) — point any client at https://dynamicfeed.ai/mcp, then call:
earthquakes(min_magnitude=4, period="week")

Sample response

{ "magnitude": 5.4, "place": "120km SSE of Town", "depth_km": 32,
  "alert": "green", "time": "2026-06-03T09:12:00Z" }

Why live data

Seismic events happen after every training cutoff. This serves them the moment USGS publishes, sorted by likely impact so an agent surfaces what matters.
