aqiretrieve

Python package for AQI retrieval from EPA API

AQI Retrieve provides the data for the Air Quality Index of the United States from the AirNow. The data collected is at a County level.

Current air quality data for more than 500 cities across the U.S.

The dataset that is generated consists of the following columns:

1. State
2. County
3. Date
4. Ozone
5. PM 2.5
6. PM 10

Description for each of above item can be found here

Usage:

from aqiretrieve import getData

getData()

Since we retrieve data for each state, it requires quite some time depending on the provided date range.

This will create a .csv file with the aforementioned Columns

All we are doing here is getting the data from AirNow.gov and converting the same to a readable CSV file.
