An async GeoJSON client library for the U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards Program.

Project description

python-aio-geojson-usgs-earthquakes

Build Status codecov PyPi Version

This library provides convenient async access to U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards Program feeds.

Installation

pip install aio-geojson-usgs-earthquakes

Usage

See below for examples of how this library can be used. After instantiating a particular class - feed or feed manager - and supply the required parameters, you can call update to retrieve the feed data. The return value will be a tuple of a status code and the actual data in the form of a list of feed entries specific to the selected feed.

Status Codes

  • OK: Update went fine and data was retrieved. The library may still return empty data, for example because no entries fulfilled the filter criteria.
  • OK_NO_DATA: Update went fine but no data was retrieved, for example because the server indicated that there was not update since the last request.
  • ERROR: Something went wrong during the update

Parameters

Parameter Description
home_coordinates Coordinates (tuple of latitude/longitude)

Supported Filters

Filter Description
Radius filter_radius Radius in kilometers around the home coordinates in which events from feed are included.
Minimum Magnitude filter_minimum_magnitude Minimum magnitude as float value. Only event with a magnitude equal or above this value are included.

Example

import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from aio_geojson_usgs_earthquakes import UsgsEarthquakeHazardsProgramFeed
async def main() -> None:
    async with ClientSession() as websession:    
        # Home Coordinates: Latitude: 21.3, Longitude: -157.8
        # Feed: Past Day - All Earthquakes
        # Filter radius: 500 km
        # Filter minimum magnitude: 4.0
        feed = UsgsEarthquakeHazardsProgramFeed(websession,
                                                (21.3, -157.8),
                                                'past_day_all_earthquakes',
                                                filter_radius=5000, 
                                                filter_minimum_magnitude=4.0)
        status, entries = await feed.update()
        print(status)
        print(entries)
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())

Feed entry properties

Each feed entry is populated with the following properties:

Name Description Feed attribute
geometries All geometry details of this entry. geometry
coordinates Best coordinates (latitude, longitude) of this entry. geometry
distance_to_home Distance in km of this entry to the home coordinates. n/a
attribution Attribution of the feed. n/a
external_id The unique public identifier for this entry. id
title Title of this entry. title
place Description of the place where this earthquakes occurred. place
magnitude Magnitude of this earthquake. mag
time Date and time when this event occurred. time
updated Date and time when this entry was last updated. updated
alert Alert level of this entry ("green", "yellow", "orange", "red"). alert
type Type of this seismic event ("earthquake", "quarry"). type
status Indicates whether the event has been reviewed by a human ("automatic", "reviewed", "deleted"). status

Feed Manager

The Feed Manager helps managing feed updates over time, by notifying the consumer of the feed about new feed entries, updates and removed entries compared to the last feed update.

  • If the current feed update is the first one, then all feed entries will be reported as new. The feed manager will keep track of all feed entries' external IDs that it has successfully processed.
  • If the current feed update is not the first one, then the feed manager will produce three sets:
    • Feed entries that were not in the previous feed update but are in the current feed update will be reported as new.
    • Feed entries that were in the previous feed update and are still in the current feed update will be reported as to be updated.
    • Feed entries that were in the previous feed update but are not in the current feed update will be reported to be removed.
  • If the current update fails, then all feed entries processed in the previous feed update will be reported to be removed.

After a successful update from the feed, the feed manager provides two different dates:

  • last_update will be the timestamp of the last update from the feed irrespective of whether it was successful or not.
  • last_update_successful will be the timestamp of the last successful update from the feed. This date may be useful if the consumer of this library wants to treat intermittent errors from feed updates differently.
  • last_timestamp (optional, depends on the feed data) will be the latest timestamp extracted from the feed data. This requires that the underlying feed data actually contains a suitable date. This date may be useful if the consumer of this library wants to process feed entries differently if they haven't actually been updated.
