Air Quality Index API

Air Quality Index API

This API will retrieve the current, historical, and forecasted Air Quality Index of any location in the world.

API description

About the API:

An air quality index (AQI) is used by government agencies to communicate to the public how polluted the air currently is or how polluted it is forecast to become.[2][3] AQI information is obtained by averaging readings from an air quality sensor, which can increase due to vehicle traffic, forest fires, or anything that can increase air pollution. Pollutants tested include ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide, among others.

Public health risks increase as the AQI rises, especially affecting children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory or cardiovascular issues. During these times, governmental bodies generally encourage people to reduce physical activity outdoors, or even avoid going out altogether.

This API will provide you with the AQI of any place in the world.

 

What your API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?

Just pass the  Coordinates of the location that you want to get its AQI from. 

Receive data like:

  • AQI.
  • O3 Concentration of Surface
  • SO2 Concentration of Surface
  • The concentration of particulate matter < 2.5 microns
  • More...

 

What are the most common uses cases of this API?

The key benefit of using an AQI is the ability to communicate data with the public, both easily and conveniently. AQI can demystify data – you don’t need to be an expert to understand AQI values – they’re easily scaled and color-coded – there is no need to understand units and concentrations. Often data are communicated in relation to a standard – but this approach assumes that people understand that there are no safe limits for concentrations and that just because concentrations are below a guideline doesn't mean that there are no health impacts.

Transforming your data into something the public can understand is really valuable – you retain your traditional dataset, and for minimal effort and calculation you can present it in an understandable and recognizable form for everyone.

AQI calculations are very straightforward – often they are as simple as assessing what range of values a concentration falls in. Accordingly, they’re very easy to display on websites or in real-time on a screen. Since many AQI is calculated on the highest pollutant concentration, you can calculate an AQI using a single pollutant – so if your network of sites has a bit of variation is not a problem – you can still create a useful AQI from the data you have.

 

Are there any limitations to your plans?

Besides the number of API calls per month, there is a limitation of 25 calls per day on FREE, BASIC, and PRO plans.

Prices are based on a recurring monthly subscription depending on the plan selected β€” plus overage fees applied when a developer exceeds a plan’s quota limits. In this example, you'll see the base plan amount as well as a quota limit of API requests. Be sure to notice the overage fee because you will be charged for each additional request.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

Just go to the pricing page of that API and select the plan that you want to upgrade to. You will only be charged the full amount of that plan, but you will be enjoying the features that the plan offers right away.
