MetOne BAM 1020 station



Luft-Daten DIY station
Publishing data on the World Air Quality Index world map is simple. Both professional and DIY air quality monitoring stations are accepted:
  • Professional stations operated by EPAs are qualified by default, and are given dedicated pages (such as map/montenegro or city/paris) as well as historical data pages (eg historical/kosovo).

  • For the DIY stations (such as luft-daten), additional quality control is required before publishing on the map. This is to ensure high quality data accross the map (more explanation here).

There are two cases in order to upload your data into the map:
    Either you already have a website (or a feed such as thingspeak) from which we can collect the data from your stations. In this case our system will periodically load your page, extract the data and then republish it on our map. Check the feed examples for website examples.

    Either you do not have a website, but you have a station, and you would like to "push" the data directly to our system. In this case, you will need to write a small programm to "post" your station data via our upload API. Code sample is available from the upload API page.

If you fall in the first category (have a website), or if you have any doubts, send us a message using the form below. If you fall in the second category, and want to programatically post the data via our upload API, check our data upload scripts and API page.
