US EPA air quality data and forecasts
Environment
30 APIs
Environment APIs report air quality, pollen, the carbon intensity of the power grid, emissions factors and solar energy potential. They are used in climate dashboards, carbon calculators and apps that shift work to cleaner hours. Check the measurement source, update frequency and regional coverage, since many datasets cover a single country.
UK Carbon Intensity forecasts grid emissions for Great Britain without a key, and OpenAQ aggregates air quality readings from many countries. AirNow covers US air quality, Climatiq and Carbon Interface estimate emissions with an API key, and PVGIS estimates solar panel output with no key required.
