Getting the data out
There is a free, read-only JSON API over everything on the site. It is cached, unauthenticated and rate-limited by ordinary server limits rather than by keys.
Reuse
The USGS data underneath this site is in the public domain and you do not need our permission to use it — go to the source and cite it directly. Our compilation, wording and structure are ours; quote them with a link. Photographs belong to their photographers under the licence named beneath each one.
