Air Quality is an air pollution API that reports particulate pollution levels and health recommendations for any city or zip code. Look up PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations to check current air conditions; paid plans add ozone, toxic gases, and EPA index scores.
The Air Quality API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate air quality functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready air quality capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callAirQualityAPI() {
try {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
city: 'San Francisco'
});
const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/airquality?${params}`, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
callAirQualityAPI();Using cURL
curl -X GET "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/airquality?city=San%20Francisco" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"Get your API key: https://apiverve.com
