Earthquake alerts near you in Telegram
A bot that tells you within minutes when a strong earthquake hits near a city you follow, with a link to the USGS event page.
For your agent: agent.md
Parts
Steps
- Poll the USGS summary GeoJSON feed for the last hour (no key) once a minute at most.
- Keep the event ids you have already sent, so an updated event is not posted twice.
- For each new event, compute the distance to each follower's city and send the ones above their magnitude and inside their radius.
- Put the magnitude, place, local time and the USGS event link in the message, and credit the U.S. Geological Survey.
Watch out
- USGS asks automated apps to use the real-time feeds, not the query API.
- This is information, not an official warning system; say so in the bot's description.
