PHIVOLCS publishes quake bulletins as HTML tables only, so this keyless USGS FDSN query boxed to Philippine coordinates is the practical live JSON feed. PH-first.

I'm building an app using a free Philippines API (no auth needed).

API: USGS Earthquake API ~ live Philippine quakes (GeoJSON)
Provider: US Geological Survey
Endpoint: GET https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query?format=geojson&minlatitude=4&maxlatitude=21&minlongitude=116&maxlongitude=127&limit=10
It returns JSON (live data).

Source: US Geological Survey (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/)
Source type: Official public feed
Endpoint type: Direct public JSON endpoint
Integration difficulty: Copy-paste ready
Last checked: 2026-07-03
Production caveat: Still handle downtime, changing fields, empty responses, and rate limits before shipping user-facing alerts.

Help me fetch this and build a simple page that displays it nicely. Include basic production safeguards for errors, empty responses, schema changes, caching, and rate limits.
