I am unable to figure out how to display a graph of the AQI for a specific sensor for the entire past year. I want to review how many times the readings exceeded X. Can someone advise me of the simplest way to do this ? Thanks !

THANK YOU PurpleAir for sharing the past week AQI Info on a graph !!!
This is a great addition, and greatly increases the value of this platform.
Please further expand the graph back to the origin of each sensor !
This will allow awesome research, and help protect Public Health !
Thank You,

Sorry for the late response!
You can change the range limit on the map graph by altering the Averaging Period. The average defines the points on the graph (e.g. a 1-hour average will have a datapoint for every hour). The range is how many days can be displayed on the graph.
I’ll include a table of the limits below:
| Average | Graph Limit |
|---|---|
| Real-time | 2 days |
| 10-minute | 3 days |
| 30-minute | 7 days |
| 1-hour | 14 days |
| 6-hour | 90 days |
| 1-day | 1 year |
| 1-week | 5 years |
| 1-month | 20 years |
| 1-year | 100 years |
I hope that helps!
WOW. I did not know this. This is extremely helpful ! Thanks for sharing !
I still want to see the granularity of hourly readings, as some smoke events are very short lived.
When do you expect hourly data will be available for the past years ?
Thank you,

Increasing the limit is something that has been discussed. We don’t have a timeline for it, but I expect it may happen relatively soon, as we just changed the limits for historical API calls.
Thank You again !
Expanding the dataset will be a huge advancement for researching this important public health topic !
You folks are totally rockin’ your important role in helping to protect EVERYONE !
I appreciate all of you !
