GET /seismograms_raw

Description

Returns the raw, correctly rotated seismograms from an Instaseis database. No further post-processing like STF reconvolution or resampling is performed. This is mostly useful for using the Instaseis client in remote mode. If you only want to get seismograms and continue your work with other programs, please use the /seismograms route.

Special Response Headers

Instaseis-Mu: This transports the mu of the model for the given seismogram which is needed for some finite source calculations. Please make sure your proxy does not filter it.

Filetype

Returns MiniSEED files encoded with encoding format 4 (IEEE floating point).
