Volcanoes API
The Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program (GVP) Holocene volcano list as an API — 1,215 volcanoes active within the last ~10,000 years. Look up any volcano by its GVP number (e.g. 211020 → Vesuvius) or name; search by name, country, type or region; or find every volcano within a radius of any coordinate (great-circle distance). Each record carries the volcano type, last-known eruption year, country/region, latitude/longitude, summit elevation, tectonic setting and a geological summary. Ideal for natural-hazard dashboards, travel/geography apps, education and earth-science tooling.

Earthquake API
Real-time and historical earthquake data sourced from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program. Pull ready-made summary feeds by magnitude band and period (significant, M4.5+, M2.5+, M1.0+ or all, over the past hour, day, week or month), run a full FDSN search by time window, magnitude range and geographic radius, count matching events, fetch the latest quakes worldwide, or look up a single event by its USGS id. Every event comes as a clean record with magnitude and type, place, ISO timestamps, depth and coordinates, felt reports, shaking intensity (CDI/MMI), PAGER alert level, tsunami flag and significance. Authoritative public data delivered through a fast, reliable API — ideal for insurance and risk, IoT and sensor alerting, newsrooms, research and disaster-response apps.
