[Realtime-feed-users] North Korea earthquake data not showing on 2.5_week.geojson

Wed Sep 13 17:07:55 UTC 2017

Hi Jeremy,
Again thanks for the help. Here is the queries I tried
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query?format=geojson&starttime=2014-09-11&endtime=2017-09-11&eventtype="nuclear explosion"
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query?format=geojson&starttime=2014-09-11&endtime=2017-09-11&eventtype=nuclear explosion
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query?format=geojson&starttime=2014-09-11&endtime=2017-09-11&eventtype=nuclear
 hope this helps.-Tony

Hi Tony,
Can you provide the API url example you are trying to use that is hanging?
Sometimes queries across long time spans do not run quickly, and need to be broken into multiple API requests for better performance.  A minimum magnitude threshold is also useful to improve performance.  For example, this API request is for all explosions above magnitude 2.5 since January 1, 2017.  I chose the GeoJSON output format, which is recommended for most programmatic uses:
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query?format=geojson&starttime=2017-01-01&minmag=2.5&eventtype=explosion

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,Ok I am almost happy. I try to filter by eventtype but the query just seems to hang. Where can I find an example query using eventtype? Is there some test script somewhere I can look at for that? BTW this is really cool.

Many Thanks,-Tony

Hi Jeremy,Ok I looked at the API and I am wondering how far back in time I can go. The data I am looking for is not frequent so maybe a handful if that over a period of months.

Thanks, I did not want to assume that but noticed the testing code of that service had those listed.

Hello,
The valid combinations for realtime feeds are listed on the GeoJSON Summary page:
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/ earthquakes/feed/v1.0/geojson. php

All magnitudes, M1.0+, M2.5+, and M4.5+.

You can also query the API directly, however results are cached for 15 minutes (realtime feeds are only cached for 1 minute for up to 7 days, one month feeds are also cached for 15 minutes):
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/ fdsnws/event/1/

Thanks,
Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy. I left later messages indicating I figured that out and something else I found. Mainly now I am looking for info regarding what range of values are valid for the request url since I discovered 2.5_month (in the url) returns geojson but not 2.0_month. The examples do not indicate that limitation so that is why I was wondering where there might be info about that. Else the developers have to request all the earthquakes for the hour or day or week or month then filter the resultant geojson response based on magnitude.
Best Regards,-Tony

Hello,
This is likely related to when you accessed the feed.  The event us2000aert occurred at 2017-09-03T03:30:01.940Z, and currently appears in the M2.5+ month geojson feed; so it would have been included in the M2.5+ week geojson feed until 2017-09-10T03:30:01. 940Z.
If you accessed the feed before this time and the event was not included, please provide any details for us to troubleshoot further.

The GeoJSON summary format is described on this page, and there links to related information in the left navigation:
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/ earthquakes/feed/v1.0/geojson. php

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi All,
I noticed the N. Korean earthquake data does not show up on the 2.5_week.geojson request. Anyone know why? It does show up on the all_month.geojson request.
Also, where can I find the listing for the API?

Thanks!-Tony
