Introduction
Often in seismology, we require the information about the earthquake such as location, origin time, depth, magnitude, etc. To obtain this information, users generally, browse the web or if he/she is experienced then just go to the predetermined sites such as global CMT catalog. Even, after reaching the correct website, we need to do some dig up to get the desired information. This program is meant to scrape the global CMT website to obtain the earthquake information.
