I noticed that the Java service endpoint for earthquake allows a user to specify the soil type information, but the python method doesn't have any way to add the dataset id so the service will amplify the hazard based on the soil information at the location specified (otherwise it defaults to whatever soil type is specified when creating the earthquake).
Rather than adding another parameter to the method and then updating the earthquake python model, I added this information to the payload and checked for it in the service to see if it's present. I am not sure if this is the best way to do this so I am open to other options.
