Canada Earthquake by Origin Minute

earthquakescanada/event-lookup

Looks up the Earthquakes Canada events whose origin time falls in one UTC minute, given as YYYYMMDD.HHmm (for example 20261016.1717), and returns each event's id, origin time, latitude, longitude, depth in kilometres, magnitude type, magnitude and location name. The service identifies events by their origin minute, not by the ca2026... id it returns; more than one event can fall in a minute, so the result is a list. A minute with no event returns count 0 and an empty events list.
