Verdict

A French seismic data source for station and waveform lookups, alongside ingv-fdsn-earthquake-api. Licence: Custom: the terms of service say "Our services are subject to a fair-use policy." and "In particular, polling for real-time continuous time series data is not welcome on any webservice." They ask for citation of the services and networks; each network keeps its own licence. Rate limits: fair use; requests over the limit get HTTP 429. Signal Lab links only.
