Dependencies

This script requires bash, jq for parsing data, and curl or wget for downloading data.

Configuration

You can change the behavior of this module, by editing the following files:

• ~/.config/polybar/scripts/earthquake/earthquake.conf (for appearence and behavior of the script);
• ~/config/polybar/scripts/earthquakes/module.conf (for binding to mouse buttons).

Running

By default the module cyclically shows magnitude, title and time of the seismic events in the last hour. You can change this behavior by clicking with the middle button of your mouse on the bar. So the bar will show the latest earthquake and, after another middle click, the event with max magnitude, and so on.
