This is a Javascript Wrapper for the Worldwide Earthquakes API
Installation
Using npm:

yarn add @apiverve/earthquakeConfiguration
Before using the Worldwide Earthquakes API client, you have to setup your account and obtain your API Key. You can get it by signing up at https://apiverve.com
Quick Start
Get started with the Quick Start Guide
The Worldwide Earthquakes API documentation is found here: https://docs.apiverve.com/ref/earthquake. You can find parameters, example responses, and status codes documented here.
Setup
const earthquakeAPI = require('@apiverve/earthquake');
const api = new earthquakeAPI({
api_key: '[YOUR_API_KEY]'
});Usage
Perform Request
Using the API is simple. All you have to do is make a request. The API will return a response with the data you requested.
// This API does not require a Query
api.execute(function (error, data) {
if (error) {
return console.error(error);
} else {
console.log(data);
}
});Using Promises
You can also use promises to make requests. The API returns a promise that you can use to handle the response.
// This API does not require a Query
api.execute(query)
.then(data => {
console.log(data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});Using Async/Await
You can also use async/await to make requests. The API returns a promise that you can use to handle the response.
async function makeRequest() {
// This API does not require a Query
try {
const data = await api.execute(query);
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
