Steps
Register a developer account and create an application at developer.qingping.co (a JavaScript-rendered console, so use a real browser session rather than a plain HTTP client to sign up).
Obtain an APP KEY and APP SECRET, then authenticate via the OAuth-style flow documented under the platform's oauthApi reference to get an access token.
Call the device-list and realtime-data endpoints to pull current CO2, PM2.5, temperature and humidity readings from your registered devices.
Use the documented device-settings endpoint (/v1/apis/devices/settings) if you need to change the device's upload interval.
Consider MQTT-based Data Push instead of REST polling if you need a streaming feed rather than periodic requests.
Known gotchas
Documentation is Chinese-market-first; English-language coverage of the Open API is thinner than the Chinese-language docs, so verify against actual responses rather than translated text alone.
Qingping does not make a radon sensor — its devices (Air Monitor Lite, CGS1) are CO2/PM/temp/humidity only, so use this only as a complementary IAQ source alongside a dedicated radon monitor.
