Aristocles Pty Ltd Volcanic Eruptions API

The long-running record of significant volcanic eruptions maintained by the United States national geophysical data centre, covering events from antiquity to the present. Each row gives the volcano name, date, coordinates, elevation, explosivity index and recorded human and economic impact. Insurers, travel-risk platforms and hazard modellers use it as a baseline for eruption frequency and severity. Source: Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Significant Volcanic Eruption Database (public domain).. Licence: Public Domain (U.S. Government Work). Base path: /v1/data/global-volcanic-eruptions. Requires an API key (X-API-Key).

  description: 'Four Australian data APIs on one key — subscriptions, trade pricing, PBS drugs, and rental prices.


    ---


    ## Quick start


    **1. Get your API key** — register in one request:

    ```

    POST /v1/auth/register

    {"email": "you@example.com", "name": "Your Name"}

    ```

    Copy the `api_key` from the response.


    **2. Authenticate** — add your key to every request as a header:

    ```

    X-API-Key: ar_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx

    ```


    **3. Run the discovery endpoint** — returns all available slugs, example calls, and your account limits:

    ```

    GET /v1/discovery

    ```


    **4. Make your first call:**

    ```

    GET /v1/prices/netflix?country=AU

    GET /v1/trades/electrician/prices?state=NSW&country=AU

    GET /v1/pbs/metformin

    GET /v1/rental/VIC/Richmond

    ```
