### fdsnEvent

The default is to query the USGS FDSN Event web service at earthquake.usgs.gov, the host parameter should only be needed to query a different server. The baseURL, fdsnPath and port parameters should only be used in the case of a server that does not follow the FDSN specification as to how the service URL should be formed. Most of the other parameters map directly to the same parameter in the old eventFinder source. The main exception, at least for queries to the IRIS DMC, is that the catalog and contributor names are not the same, and so you should refer to the web service documentation, available at the USGS, http://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1, or IRIS, http://service.iris.edu/fdsnws/event/1, for details.

### Example

    <fdsnEvent>
        <originTimeRange>
            <startTime>
                2015-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
            </startTime>
            <endTime>
                2015-01-31T23:59:59.999Z
            </endTime>
        </originTimeRange>
        <magnitudeRange>
            <min>6.0</min>
        </magnitudeRange>
    </fdsnEvent>
