In order to offer the most value possible through our ever-growing outdoor air quality database, AirVisual is delighted to share free access to our global AQ data with everyone, through our air quality API.

By offering access to our entire air quality database through tiered API plans, AirVisual hopes to stimulate further innovative responses to the air quality crisis, and grow the reach of this outdoor pollution data across as many platforms as possible, to have the biggest impact in tackling this global issue.
