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](https://community.purpleair.com/t/purpleair-map-guide/90#configuration-menu-7). 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. ---
