How this service works
Live US AQI and pollutants for any place on Earth, an EPA-based verdict on running, walking or cycling now, and the cleanest window ahead. Pay per query.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the place name, current AQI integer, air quality category label (e.g. 'Good', 'Unhealthy'), dominant pollutant, an EPA-based activity verdict (e.g. safe or cautionary guidance), the best upcoming time window for outdoor activity with its start/end times and AQI, the service name, price in USD, and a disclaimer.
Example use cases
Morning run safety check
“Is the air quality in Denver good enough for an outdoor run right now, and what's the EPA activity verdict for today?”
Best outdoor window for kids
“What's the cleanest time window to let my kids play outside in Seattle today, and what's the current AQI there?”
Air quality alert for travel
“I'm heading to Los Angeles tomorrow — what's the current AQI, what pollutant is dominating, and should I avoid outdoor activities?”
