x	Geographic longitude, decimal degrees, WGS84 datum, west longitudes negative
y	Geographic latitude, decimal degrees, WGS84 datum, south latitudes negative
d	Tolerance; size of the bounding box, in decimal degrees; search is carried out on the box whose corners are (x - d, y - d) and (x + d, y + d)
xmin	West bounding coordinate, WGS84 datum, west longitudes negative
ymin	South bounding coordinate, WGS84 datum, south latitudes negative
xmax	East bounding coordinate, WGS84 datum, west longitudes negative
ymax	North bounding coordinate, WGS84 datum, south latitudes negative
callback	For requests returned as JSON, this parameter is used to return in the JSONP format
format	JSON (default), HTML, or XML

Output results

location

An object containing the input parameters longitude Value of the input variable 'x' latitude Value of the input variable 'y' tolerance Value of the input variable 'd' context An object containing three arrays, each indicating the common geographic areas in which the center of the box is located

dataset

An array of objects describing a data set with records that lie near the search point, as follows: title Title of the data set description Short description of the data set url Web location of the data set relative to mrdata.usgs.gov catalog_url URL to a catalog record for the database, typically includes linked keywords, originators, as well as a description heading Database-specific labels for the information provided as label, type, and comment. record_list An array of objects each describing a record of the dataset, with members as follows: url Web link to a report providing the complete contents of the database record label Label for the record, usually the value for this record of the field named as 'record_label' in the data set description, if that field is specified type General category of this record within the data set comment Additional potentially helpful information about the record
