Hi @Augusto_Gabriel

The PurpleAir map only shows recent data. To access more historical data, which it sounds like you want to do, you will have to use our [API](https://api.purpleair.com/). It is important to note that the API is now a paid service, however, all new users are automatically supplied with one million points.

We also provide the [Data Download Tool](https://community.purpleair.com/t/purpleair-data-download-tool/3787), which makes receiving data from the API much simpler.
