The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Air Quality Index Finder (Open-Meteo) — Free Get **current air quality by GPS coordinates**: European AQI and US AQI, plus PM2.5, PM10, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and pollen (alder, birch, grass, ragweed). Powered by the free [Open-Meteo Air Quality API](https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/air-quality-api) — no API key required. This actor is **free** — you only pay for your own Apify platform usage. ### What it does Give it a list of locations (`latitude,longitude` or `latitude,longitude,Label`); it returns one structured air-quality record per location with an explicit `status` (`found` / `error`). Perfect for dashboards, health and travel apps, environmental monitoring and alerting. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `locations` | array of strings | One location per line: `lat,lon` or `lat,lon,Label` (e.g. `48.85,2.35,Paris`). | ### Output (example) ```json { "label": "Paris", "latitude": 48.8, "longitude": 2.4, "status": "found", "time": "2026-07-08T01:00", "european_aqi": 24, "us_aqi": 31, "pm2_5": 6.1, "pm10": 9.4, "ozone": 62, "nitrogen_dioxide": 8.2 } ```` ### Use cases - Show live air quality on a weather or health dashboard. - Trigger alerts when PM2.5 or AQI crosses a threshold. - Enrich travel or real-estate listings with air-quality data. - Environmental monitoring across many locations at once. ### Limitations & fair use Uses the free Open-Meteo Air Quality API (CC-BY 4.0), which serves current and recent hourly data with global coverage. The actor sends a proper User-Agent and polite delays. AQI values are modeled estimates; for regulatory use, consult official monitoring stations. ### More actors by this developer See the full range of free actors on the [fit\_melon profile](https://apify.com/fit_melon). # Actor input Schema ## `locations` (type: `array`): One location per line as "latitude,longitude" or "latitude,longitude,Label".
