aiR

aiR is an R package for querying and retrieving air quality information from AirNow via the AirNow API. Current and historical readings as well as forecasts can be retrieved as tidy data frames.

Installation

This package is changing rapidly, so it's not quite ready for CRAN.

Development version

To get a bug fix or to use a feature from the development version, you can install the development version of aiR from GitHub.

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("briandconnelly/aiR")

Creating an API Token

The AirNow API is generally free to use. The use_airnow() function can be used to help you create and configure your API token.

aiR::use_airnow()
