  2. Call GET https://api.openaq.org/v3/locations (optionally filtered by coordinates/radius) or GET /v3/locations/{locations_id} to find a location and its ID
  3. Send the API key in the X-API-Key request header on every call
  4. Call GET https://api.openaq.org/v3/locations/{locations_id}/latest to get the most recent value from every sensor at that location
  5. Use the limit and page query params (limit default 100) if a location has many sensors
  6. Watch the x-ratelimit-remaining/x-ratelimit-reset response headers to avoid hitting the rate limit
