Real-time seismic event detection delivered via API — before traditional reporting networks publish. Built for energy trading desks and quantitative funds.
Every detection below was validated against the USGS earthquake catalog. Traffic signatures show the unmistakable pattern of a felt seismic event.
When people feel an earthquake, they immediately search for information. We detect that behavioral signal in real time across a continental-scale sensor network.
Millions of requests from a major earthquake information site are processed in real time, enriched with geographic data at the edge.
A nationwide grid monitors traffic density at 10-second resolution. When a cell spikes 10×+ above its rolling baseline, we flag it.
Adjacent spiking cells are clustered and analyzed for spike steepness — the signature that distinguishes earthquakes from news or bot traffic.
Seismic events near Cushing, the Permian Basin, Gulf Coast refineries, or California energy infrastructure move crude, natural gas, and power futures within minutes. Our alerts arrive before the first headline — giving your desk time to assess and act before the market reprices.
Integrate earthquake detection as a signal in systematic strategies. Our structured JSON feed is designed for programmatic consumption — magnitude estimate, location, confidence score, and cluster geometry delivered via webhook or WebSocket with sub-30-second latency.
Receive structured alerts the moment a seismic event is detected. Each payload includes location, estimated magnitude, confidence score, cluster size, and detection metadata — ready for programmatic consumption.
Standard JSON over HTTPS. No SDK required. Point your endpoint at our webhook, or subscribe to the WebSocket stream for lowest-latency delivery. Most teams are ingesting alerts within an hour.
Cushing Seismic is built to complement your existing risk systems, not replace them. Use our early signal for situational awareness and pre-positioning, then confirm with official sources as they report.
