Request
URL
There are two ways that you can specify search position, either by longitude and latitude or by the mesh code. In the URL,bold characters indicate a request parameter; superscript number corresponds to the No. in parameter list.
By Mesh code
By Longitude and Latitude
Parameters
Request parameters of the API are as follows. The parameters are case-sensitive.
| No | Parameters | Dispensability | Input values and Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | version | Required | Version code
Refer to a list of version codes for details. |
| 2 | format | Required | Response format
|
| 3 | meshcode | Conditional | 250m mesh code Refer to the Quarter Grid Square definition for more information. Note) Request fails if the “epsg” or “position” parameter is specified with this parameter. |
| 4 | position | Conditional | Longitude and Latitude are separated by a comma. The coordinates are restricted in the following regions.
Note1) This parameter is required when “epsg” parameter is specified. |
| 5 | epsg | Conditional | EPSG code
Note1) This parameter is required when “position” parameter is specified. |
| 6 | attr | Optional | Seismic hazard attribute
Refer to a List of seismic hazard attributes for more information. If not specified, all attributes are returned. |
The following is a list of version codes.
| Version code | Description |
|---|---|
| V1 | Based on seismic activity model for 2012 version of PSHM but all earthquakes are evaluated as Poisson process. |
| V2 | Based on seismic activity model for 2013 version (model 2) of PSHM but all earthquakes are evaluated as Poisson process. |
| V3 | Based on seismic activity model for 2013 version (model 1) of PSHM but all earthquakes are evaluated as Poisson process. |
| V4 | Based on seismic activity model for 2014 version of PSHM but all earthquakes are evaluated as Poisson process. |
| V5 | Based on seismic activity model for 2016 version of PSHM but all earthquakes are evaluated as Poisson process. |
| V6 | Based on seismic activity model for 2017 version of PSHM but all earthquakes are evaluated as Poisson process. |

Response
Status code
The data acquisition is successful, once you got the return HTTP 200 status code. Otherwise, please see the following HTTP status code.
| HTTP status code | Description | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | Bad Request | The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax.
For example, unsupported value was setup. |
| 403 | Forbidden | The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.
For example, requests exceeded the upper limits of normal. |
| 404 | Not Found | The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI.
For example, non-existent mesh code was specified. |
| 500 | Internal Server Error | The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. |
| 503 | Service Unavailable | The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server.
For example, a database connection fails. |
