Air Quality API

This API returns high resolution air quality data derived from the world's most advanced global, and regional air quality models. As well as thousands of air quality monitoring stations around the world. Data retrieved from the Air Quality API is gap-free (minimal missing data) due to its application of advanced machine learning, and statistical backfilling techniques. Spatial resolution ranges from 1-15 KM depending on location.

Available air quality fields:

  • Particulate Matter < 2.5 microns (PM10)
  • Particulate Matter < 10 microns (PM2.5)
  • Carbon Monoxide (CO)
  • Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
  • Sulfer Dioxide (SO2)
  • Ozone (O3)
  • Pollen (CONUS / EU regions Only)
  • US Air Quality Index (AQI)

You can look up air quality data by many methods including:

  • Latitude/longitude
  • City name
  • Airport ICAO code
  • Postal (zip) code for any country in the world

Air Quality API Advantages:

High Spatial Resolution

Spatial resolutions ranging from 1-15 KM globally with data derived from global, and regional air quality models such as the SILAM and CAMS models. Model data is combined with live station data to produce a higher resolution dataset then just model data alone.

High Precision and Accuracy

A combination of statistical, and machine learning methods select the best performing models as well as correct for any data biases. Additionally, current air quality conditions, as well as short-term forecasts are corrected with live air quality station data to account for rapid/unexpected changes in air quality.

Air Quality Forecasts

Retrieve hourly air quality forecasts via API out to 72 hours for any location in the world. Forecasts are updated continuously as conditions change, rather than the industry standard once per model run.

Historical Air Quality API

Get hourly historical air quality data going back to January 1st, 2022 for any location in the world. As well as current conditions for air quality, and pollen. Pollen levels are available in the CONUS, and EU regions.
