What this page is65 rows held · newest sealed read 2026-08-30
- We hold 16,434 dated event records covering 14,785 separate events.
- We ran 102 times, on 65 separate days, from 23 Jun 2026 to 30 Aug 2026. Reading was switched back on by a dated decision on 23 Aug 2026, after a pause, so this list can still grow.
- 1,649 events were caught on two different days, which is what makes a before and after possible. 13,136 were caught once.
- Of those 1,649, USGS had changed something on 248 by the second read.
- We hold two or more dated copies for 1,649 of 14,785 events, and a single copy for the other 13,136. Where we hold two copies you can see what changed between them; where we hold one there is nothing to compare it with. USGS publishes this history itself, including superseded versions, so we do not charge for it.
Real rows out of our sealed copies
These are rows we read out of dated copies we keep ourselves. The live source shows today only, so once a row moves, what it said before is gone from the place you would go to look.

What this page cannot tell you
- We can only show a change between two of our own reads. USGS can revise an event whenever it likes, so if it changed a number and changed it back between two of our reads, we never saw it and it is not on this page.
- Each file we saved holds the last 24 hours of events, and our runs were about 24 hours apart, so two copies sealed on consecutive days usually share no event at all: only 12 of our 60 consecutive day pairs had one in common. A before and an after exists only where two runs landed closer together than usual.
- 13,136 of the 14,785 events we hold were caught on one day only. There is no second reading to compare them with, so they cannot show a revision.
- We ran on 14 Aug 2026, 15 Aug 2026, 16 Aug 2026, 17 Aug 2026 and the feed gave us nothing back, so there is no copy for those days. We say that rather than skipping over it.
- 4 days inside our range have no run at all: 4 Jul 2026, 15 Jul 2026, 22 Aug 2026, 23 Aug 2026.
- We hold what USGS published. We are not saying which reading is right. The current catalogue keeps only the later one.
- We saved the USGS feed of the last 24 hours. An event older than that never entered the archive unless it was still in that feed on a day we read it.
- This archive starts on 23 Jun 2026. Nothing before that day exists in it, and no amount of paying will produce it.
See the file we hold
You do not have to take our word for what is in the file. Here are 25 rows of the real thing, carrying all 7 of its columns, cut out of the dated copies we sealed ourselves. Nothing in it is made up and nothing in it is tidied up.
- Open the 25 rows as a CSVA plain spreadsheet file. It saves to your machine rather than painting itself into a browser tab, and it opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
- The same 25 rows as JSONThe same rows again, laid out for reading with code.
Nothing on this page is for sale. The sample file is free to read, and so is every row on the page above it.
These 25 rows are a slice of the file, not the whole of it. What we cannot show you here is how far back it goes: the file goes back further than these rows do.

No pay button on this one yet. Email operations@ustechautomations.com. We reply with what we hold for this one, and with what we do not hold, before you spend anything.
What you would be paying for: Not for sale. USGS publishes this history itself, superseded versions included, so there is nothing here to charge for. Email us an event id and we tell you which dated copies we hold for it, at no charge. A person emails you the sealed copies we hold for the event you name, with the date we sealed each one. No payment is involved.
