🌍 OpenAQ Air Quality Scraper

πŸš€ Map air quality monitors anywhere in seconds. One query around London returns 100+ stations with live PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and ozone readings.

Pull air quality monitoring stations and their latest measurements from the OpenAQ global network. Search by coordinates with a radius or by country code, and for every station get its location, provider, the pollutants it tracks, and the most recent readings for PM2.5, PM10, ozone, NO2, SO2, and CO with timestamps.

Coverage: the worldwide OpenAQ network of government and research monitors. Pass coordinates (for example "34.0522,-118.2437") with a radius, or a two-letter country code.
