APIs

Currently the following APIs are implemented:

  • Check an API Key
    • check_key()
  • Check Sensor Data
    • get_sensor_data()
  • Check Sensors Data
    • get_sensors_data()
  • Check Sensor History
    • get_sensor_history()
  • Check Sensor History (CSV)
    • get_sensor_history_csv()

See the docstrings and API docs for information on these functions.

How to Get Sensor Id

Go to the https://purpleair.com map. Find your sensor and click it. Look at the url. Here is an example:

https://map.purpleair.com/1/mHUMIDITY/a10/p604800/cC0?select=63217#11.24/38.5924/-121.2715

This is the sensor id:                                       ^^^^^
 = 63217

How to Get API Keys

Send an email to contact@purpleair.com requesting API keys.

Getting Multiple Sensors Data via location_id and modified_since

See https://api.purpleair.com for what the parameters mean and how they're used.

In [1]: from purpleair import PurpleAir

In [2]: p = PurpleAir('READ_KEY_HERE')

# See help(p.get_sensors_data) for param names, and see https://api.purpleair.com for API info.

# Pull temperature/humidity from all sensors that are outside and have been modified today
# location_type=0 per api docs means outdoor sensors
# Use modified_since with a datetime corresponding with the first moment of today
