Hello Stewart, 


We will update the api page. See below for description of columns. We recommend the GeoJSON format for programatic access instead of CSV, and its documentation should be up to date on the api page. 




DateTime, 
Latitude, 
Longitude, 
Depth, 
Magnitude, magnitude value 
MagType, magnitude type 
NbStations, number of stations used for location 
Gap, azimuthal gap in degrees 
Distance, distance to nearest station in kilometers 
RMS, rms time error 
Source, authoritative network 
EventID, authoritative event id 
Version, millisecond timestamp of last update to event 







Thanks, 


Jeremy

Hi, 

At: 
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/api/ 
It is written: 
Output Format 
CSV 
... 
Src,EqId,Version,Datetime,Lat,Lon,Magnitude,Depth,NST,Region 

This matches the column headers in the 'old' real-time data feed at: 
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/catalogs/eqs7day-M1.txt 

This morning, at the 'new' CVS >1.0 Weekly URL: 
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/csv/1.0/week 
The column headings are radically different: 
DateTime,Latitude,Longitude,Depth,Magnitude,MagType,NbStations,Gap,Distance,RMS,Source,EventID,Version 

Is there documentation for this new CVS format? 

Thanks, 

Stewart Dickson, Wolfram|Alpha
