Using the API

We will use Breezometer to collect air quality data. The documentation is here:

https://breezometer.com/air-quality-api/

An example of how to use the API is like this:

https://api.breezometer.com/baqi/?lat=51.5286263&lon=-0.1057266&key=2156295a3962496aace88a0a38c25ac3

Change the latitude and longitude.

To read the data into the Google Spreadsheet do:

=transpose(importJSON("https://api.breezometer.com/baqi/?lat=51.5291019&lon=-0.1077666&key=2156295a3962496aace88a0a38c25ac3","/breezometer_description","noInherit, noTruncate"))

And to format it correctly, do:

=transpose(importJSON("https://api.breezometer.com/baqi/?lat=51.5291019&lon=-0.1077666&key=2156295a3962496aace88a0a38c25ac3","/breezometer_description","noInherit, noTruncate"))
