Providing the public national air quality information and real-time AQI conditions for over 400 cities across the US.
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
The AirNow API provides access to real-time air quality data from across the United States, offering insights into the AQI (Air Quality Index) for various pollutants. With this data, developers can create applications that inform users about the air quality in their immediate environment or trigger actions based on changes in pollution levels. On Pipedream, one can leverage AirNow's data to automate notifications, integrate environmental data into smart home systems, or even drive data analysis and reporting for health and safety monitoring.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
airnow: {
type: "app",
app: "airnow",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://www.airnowapi.org/aq/forecast/zipCode/`,
params: {
format: `application/json`,
API_KEY: `${this.airnow.$auth.api_key}`,
zipCode: `YOUR_ZIP_CODE`,
},
})
},
})
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json
file or running npm install
.
Below is an example of installing the axios
package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios
package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
})
