domain: airgradient.com · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Enable API access in the AirGradient dashboard (General Settings > Connectivity) to obtain an API token
Find the target locationId on the dashboard's Locations Administration page
GET https://api.airgradient.com/public/api/v1/locations/{locationId}/measures/current?token={API token} for the latest reading from one location, or omit the locationId segment to list current measures for all your locations
Read fields like pm02, pm10, rco2, atmp, rhum, tvocIndex, and noxIndex depending on the sensor model
Consult the Swagger UI at api.airgradient.com/public/docs/api/v1/ for history/place-ID endpoints returning historical data
Known gotchas
The token is passed as a query string parameter (?token=), not an Authorization header
Only monitors explicitly set to 'public' visibility are queryable by other users; private monitors require the owner's token
