What it does
Obspy Datacenter Client is an agent skill from benchflow-ai/skillsbench. ObsPy allows you to easily download earthquake data from various data centers/networks through its client API. This is an overview of available services and a demo of the client API for International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN). Use this if you need to download earthquake research data.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `obspy-clients-fdsn.md`).
The repository describes itself as: SkillsBench evaluates how well skills work and how effective agents are at using them. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a1f4dd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
fdsn.orgservice.iris.eduorfeus-eu.orgearthwormcentral.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Obspy Datacenter Client loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 530 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- ObsPy allows you to easily download earthquake data from various data centers/networks through its client API. This is an overview of available services and a demo of the client API for International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN). Use this if you need to download earthquake research data.
Retrieving Data from Data Centers
The most common use case is likely to download waveforms and event/station meta information. In almost all cases you will want to use the obspy.clients.fdsn module for this. It supports the largest number of data centers and uses the most modern data formats. There are still a number of reasons to choose a different module but please make sure you have one.
Read obspy-client-fdsn.md for usage of the FDSN client API.
The FDSN Web Services
Basic FDSN Web Services
| Available Data Types | Format |
|---|---|
| Waveforms | MiniSEED and optionally others |
| Station Information | StationXML and Text |
| Event Information | QuakeML and Text |
Note: Not all data providers offer all three data types. Many offer only one or two.
If you want to requests waveforms, or station/event meta information you will most likely want to use the obspy.clients.fdsn module. It is able to request data from any data center implementing the FDSN web service definitions. Example data centers include IRIS/ORFEUS/INGV/ETH/GFZ/RESIF/… - a curated list can be found here. As a further advantage it returns data in the most modern and future proof formats.
FDSN Routing Web Services
If you don't know which data center has what data, use one of the routing services. ObsPy has support for two of them:
i. The IRIS Federator. ii. The EIDAWS Routing Service.
FDSN Mass Downloader
If you want to download a lot of data across a number of data centers, ObsPy's mass (or batch) downloader is for you. You can formulate your queries for example in terms of geographical domains and ObsPy will download waveforms and corresponding station meta information to produce complete data sets, ready for research, including some basic quality control.

IRIS Web Services
Available Data Types and Formats: Various
IRIS (in addition to FDSN web services) offers a variety of special-purpose web services, for some of which ObsPy has interfaces in the obspy.clients.iris module. Use this if you require response information in the SAC poles & zeros or in the RESP format. If you just care about the instrument response, please use the obspy.clients.fdsn module to request StationXML data which contains the same information.
The interfaces for the calculation tools are kept around for legacy reasons; internal ObsPy functionality should be considered as an alternative when working within ObsPy:
| IRIS Web Service | Equivalent ObsPy Function/Module |
|---|---|
obspy.clients.iris.client.Client.traveltime() | obspy.taup |
obspy.clients.iris.client.Client.distaz() | obspy.geodetics |
obspy.clients.iris.client.Client.flinnengdahl() | obspy.geodetics.flinnengdahl.FlinnEngdahl |
Earthworm Wave Server
| Available Data Types | Format |
|---|---|
| Waveforms | Custom Format |
Use the obspy.clients.earthworm module to request data from the Earthworm data acquisition system.
NERIES Web Services
This service is largely deprecated as the data can just as well be requested via the obspy.clients.fdsn module.
NEIC
| Available Data Types | Format |
|---|---|
| Waveforms | MiniSEED |
The Continuous Waveform Buffer (CWB) is a repository for seismic waveform data that passes through the NEIC "Edge" processing system. Use the obspy.clients.neic module to request data from it.
SeedLink
| Available Data Types | Format |
|---|---|
| Waveforms | MiniSEED |
To connect to a real time SeedLink server, use the obspy.clients.seedlink module. Also see the ObsPy Tutorial for a more detailed introduction.
Syngine Service
| Available Data Types | Format |
|---|---|
| Waveforms | MiniSEED and zipped SAC files |
Use the obspy.clients.syngine module to download high-frequency global synthetic seismograms for any source receiver combination from the IRIS syngine service.
