Providing the public national air quality information and real-time AQI conditions for over 400 cities across the US.
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.

The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.
