Live Earthquake Data

Weather1 credit/cellSheets · Excel
=VERVE("earthquake")

Track global quakes from a cell. =VERVE("earthquake") returns 24-hour counts and the largest magnitude, auto-refreshing — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 300+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE()function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

A real example — these inputs, and the values they land in your sheet.

Conditions per location

Put your cities in a column and fill =VERVE("earthquake") beside them — every row shows live conditions, so an ops or travel sheet reflects the real world, not last week.

Logistics & scheduling

Gate a plan on the weather: read the forecast into a cell and let an IF formula flag rows that need a backup date.

Auto-refreshing board

Set the sheet to refresh on a schedule and Live Earthquake Data keeps a status board current without anyone re-typing a thing.

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("earthquake")
Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same function, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE("earthquake")

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Live Earthquake Data, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Live Earthquake Data into a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("earthquake") into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each Live Earthquake Data cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.
Can I fill a whole column at once?
Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point Live Earthquake Data at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("earthquake") down like any spreadsheet function.
Does Live Earthquake Data work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.
How current is the data?
Live Earthquake Data is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Live Earthquake Data is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Put Live Earthquake Data in your next spreadsheet. Add the extension, paste the formula, and the cell keeps itself current.
