  "raw_analysis": "The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program provides a public API for accessing real-time and historical earthquake data. It is a mature, government-operated service that implements the FDSN Event Web Service Specification, allowing custom searches for earthquake information using a variety of parameters like time, location, magnitude, and depth. The API is free and does not require authentication. It offers multiple output formats including CSV, GeoJSON, KML, Quakeml, and plain text, making it versatile for integration into applications, research, and visualization tools. The service is widely used and reliable, with endpoints for querying events, counting matches, and retrieving metadata. It is targeted at developers, researchers, and anyone needing seismic data. The provided content does not mention explicit rate limits, but as a public government service, it is designed for broad usage."
