Frequently asked questions

How are results ordered?

Earthquakes are returned most recent first, so the latest activity is always at the top.

What does the tsunami flag mean?

It marks events flagged for possible tsunami relevance. It does not by itself mean a tsunami occurred.

Can I get only larger earthquakes?

Yes. Raise the minimum magnitude, for example to 4.5 or 6, to keep only stronger events.

How fresh is the data?

Events are read live at run time, so each record reflects the latest catalog at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
