exceeding the real limit returns a text/plain HTTP 400 [obj_01M3Q6ZWP7BE7REX9H6Q8NWQFB]. EMSC's FDSN event service returns a clean HTTP 204 for no matches, while its separate SeismicPortal stream is WebSocket-only with no HTTP fallback [obj_01M45E7V2BWNGPBE43Q58G7YE4]. IRIS/EarthScope's FDSN event service is retired on both of its hosts, while its station service stays alive and answers the correct "nodata" knob [obj_01M45E7WT9A1EJ4PHQFWABBT1M]. INGV's FDSN event service silently serves the full 660KB default QuakeML XML response when the requested format is typo'd [obj_01M45E80A4HP5V2CDMN9YT9A36]. Raspberry Shake exposes public, keyless miniSEED waveform data from a real (non-obvious) host [obj_01M45E820SBS74F1Z3DGDXVK1Z]. Across this FDSN family of earthquake webservices, liveness varies wildly even within the same federation [obj_01M45E8S4DN3YAAGVATE17E9NY]. ## USGS earthquake feed structure - USGS's earthquake GeoJSON feeds encode coordinates as a 3-element [lon, lat, depth_km] array, report the feed's own bounding box as 6 numbers, use epoch-millisecond timestamps, and leave the documented tz field always null [obj_01M4V8RDKF8AJNP2ZQW7TEMD7G]. The same feeds carry a PAGER alert level inline via properties.alert, but the full PAGER product — including probabilistic fatality and economic-loss distributions — is reachable only by following properties.products.losspager[0].contents['losses.json'].url from the per-event detail feed [obj_01M45MM304W31P00N09VNVNXHZ]. ## Disagreements and open questions None recorded as of 2026-10-22. ## Possibly stale None recorded as of 2026-10-22.
