Air Quality Scraper – PM2.5, PM10, AQI & Pollutants

Get real-time air quality data by city name or coordinates: PM2.5, PM10, US AQI, European AQI, ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide. As JSON, CSV or Excel. Free, no key, no proxy.

💵 Pricing

Pay per result — $0.0004 per item. No subscription, no proxy needed. You only pay for the data you scrape, and new Apify accounts include free monthly credits so you can test it for $0.

🔎 What can it extract?

• PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter (µg/m³)
• US AQI and European AQI
• Ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide
• Location, latitude, longitude, country, timezone
• Reading time + scraped-at timestamp
• Look up by city name (auto-geocoded) or coordinates

🎯 Use cases

• Health apps — surface local pollution levels and AQI warnings
• Environmental monitoring — track pollutants across many cities
• Dashboards — feed live air-quality tiles and maps
• Research — build clean pollutant datasets for analysis

💰 How much will it cost?

You pay only the per-result price (no proxy cost): 100 → ~$0.04 · 1,000 → ~$0.40 · 10,000 → ~$4
