The US EPA AQI: 0–50 good, 51–100 moderate, above 150 unhealthy.
Is City Air Quality free?
It needs a SandBase account. This API is in the SandBase daily free quota (100 calls per organization per day, shared, reset at 00:00 UTC); after that each run costs about $0.01 on your SandBase account.
Can I call this API directly?
Yes. This page calls iqair/city-air-quality on SandBase. Call POST /v1/api/iqair/city-air-quality with your SandBase API key; the request example is above.
Are my searches stored?
No. The Lab forwards this one request to SandBase and shows the answer; it keeps neither the input nor the result on the server.
