The air we breathe is the most important component of life. It makes up 21% of the human body and has a significant impact on our everyday health and wellness. In other words, it is so vital that you cannot live without it for more than 3 minutes. Therefore, keeping our air clean is really important.
But what does that mean?
It’s simple: the air we breathe should be clean. That’s all it takes to keep our bodies healthy and functioning properly, which is critical for not only longevity but also healthiness and vitality. But how do we know the air that surrounds us is clean?
Here is where Air Quality APIs come into play. They can help determine whether the air around us is clean or not. And if it is not, then it can provide us with the data we need to improve the quality of the air, and in turn, our lives.
Air Quality APIs are used in many industries, such as environmental monitoring and forecasting, environmental health and safety, environmental management, indoor air quality assessment, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation.
These APIs are also used to track and measure the levels of different pollutants in the air; such as particulate matter, carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds, among others. They are also used to monitor specific types of emissions; such as automotive, industrial, and residential emissions.
This makes them beneficial for a variety of applications; such as: transportation planning and proximity-based routing for public transit systems; energy planning for high-pollution areas; emergency response and warning systems for smoke and gas leaks; as well as indoor monitoring systems for respiratory illnesses; among many others.
This API will retrieve the current, historical, and forecasted Air Quality Index of any location in the world.
To make use of it, you must first:
1- Go to Air Quality Index API and simply click on the button “Subscribe for free” to start using the API.
2- After signing up in Zyla API Hub, you’ll be given your personal API key. Using this one-of-a-kind combination of numbers and letters, you’ll be able to use, connect, and manage APIs!
3- Employ the different API endpoints depending on what you are looking for.
4- Once you meet your needed endpoint, make the API call by pressing the button “run” and see the results on your screen.
