🌋 Mdaedalus Earthquake API

Mdaedalus Earthquake API is a real-time Flask-based API that aggregates earthquake data from two major Turkish data sources:

• Kandilli Observatory (Boğaziçi University)
• AFAD (Disaster and Emergency Management Authority)

The service automatically updates every 5 minutes and exposes a clean JSON interface compatible with GIS tools, dashboards, and frontend clients.
