Get data from Esri ArcGIS MapServer API

Question

I'm trying to get a list of the recent earthquakes, with latitude and longitude from this API: https://apps.pdc.org/msf/rest/services/global/pdc_active_hazards/MapServer/6

I can't rely on a server-side library as I have to use only JavaScript in an HTML page.

My problem is that I can't find the list of the events browsing the API

Here's the documentation page you're probably looking for, and as an example:

• to get all the data you'll want to set WHERE parameter to 1=1
• to get all the data attribute columns set outFields to *
• to set the geometry spatial reference to lat/lng, you'll want outSR set to 4326
• if you'd like JSON set the format to pjson or json

So all of the above parameters, in one request, would look like:

https://apps.pdc.org/msf/rest/services/global/pdc_active_hazards/MapServer/6/query?where=1=1&outFields=*&outSR=4326&f=pjson

.. and should give you all the data.
