How to Obtain Volcano Monitoring Data
Seismology/Earthquakes
The International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN) is an organisation that sets up and maintains seismology technology all over the world. Data is created by these networks, which is free and open source. It takes the form of an API (a url, just like when searching google), making it easy to work with.

The data that can be used are for seismic waveforms, the starting times, the ending times, and the locations.
Two different versions are provided. The archive service (which is seven days behind but is more complete) and the near real time service (which is constantly up to date but is not as reliable).
Out of the hundreds of networks they host, 14 are stationed in New Zealand.
Ground Temperature
This website captures satellite images of Australia and New Zealand, displaying information such as rain, air pressure, and heat.

We wanted some way to examine the ground temperature of New Zealand's volcanoes, but this website is very flawed for what we are going for. The images have far too little detail to work with, and I don't believe there is a way to cooperate with the service in managing that data.
Tiltmeter
This website appears to be the main database for frequent volcano analyses.
They not only provide data for tiltmetre data but also thermal infrared data. Getting them requires sending them a message to request the data. It might not be possible to set up a frequent connection between this and our A.I.
