get_area_pas: Getting PurpleAir Sensors (PAS) by Area and Date
In gmcginnis/AirVizR: Visualization Tools for Air Quality Data

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Load the PAS within a specified area

get_area_pas(
  state_code = input_stateCode,
  west = input_west,
  east = input_east,
  south = input_south,
  north = input_north,
  labels = input_labels,
  datestamp = input_enddate,
  startdate = input_startdate,
  archive_url = "https://airsensor.aqmd.gov/PurpleAir/v1/"
)

`state_code`	Character, optional. State of monitors to include. If NULL/unspecified, all monitors specified in the above boundaries will be included regardless of state.
`west`	Numeric; The western boundary coordinate
`east`	Numeric; The eastern boundary coordinate
`south`	Numeric; The southern boundary coordinate
`north`	Numeric; The northern boundary coordinate
`labels`	Character list, optional; Labels of monitors to include. If `NULL`/unspecified, all monitors will be included. The labels are based on string detection (str_detect), so for instance having "STAR" will pull all that have the word "STAR" in the label. Capitalization matters.
`datestamp`	Character; Important argument for loading historical data, as not all monitors might be actively reporting anymore. Format: "YYYY-MM-DD".
`startdate`	Character; Relevant for calculating lookback days (the maximum number of days to go back and try to load data if the requested date cannot be retrieved). Format: "YYYY-MM-DD".
`archive_url`	Character; see setArchiveBaseUrl. Known options include: "https://airsensor.aqmd.gov/PurpleAir/v1/" (default) - The archive URL which works given that inputs are at least a few months prior to current date "http://data.mazamascience.com/PurpleAir/v1" - The archive URL used when designing these functions, which has recently stopped working
