USGS Earthquakes
Retrieves recent earthquake data and seismic activity from the United States Geological Survey.
Custom Streaming + One-shot
Create or update a recurring earthquake data feed. Useful for tracking seismic activity over time (e.g. aftershocks). Same arguments as usgs/get_recent_earthquakes.
What you can ask Delphi
- “What are the details of the most recent earthquake with a magnitude greater than 3.0 in the last 12 hours?”
- “Show me a list of all earthquakes detected near Seattle, Washington, within the past week, ordered by magnitude.”
- “Can you set up a daily alert for any earthquakes exceeding magnitude 4.5 occurring in the Pacific Ring of Fire?”
- “What was the largest earthquake recorded in the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the last month, and when did it occur?”
