An API is a tool that allows you to access data through code. The PurpleAir API gives you access to real-time or historical data from any time. API keys are needed to use the API. You can learn more about creating API keys, using the API dashboard, and making API calls from these articles:
The PurpleAir Data Download Tool allows users to download PurpleAir data from any time period and does not require any programming experience. Learn more here: PurpleAir Data Download Tool.

Hello,
I’ve been used loaned sensors from an EPA library, to set up in our city, over the last 14 weeks. We had a few problems setting up, (on some sensors one of the pair of sensors was not working properly) but otherwise good data for up to 7 weeks. Shortly, these sensors will be loaned to someone else. These are all associated with my email address at the moment, for enquiries. I registered them on the map at their current sites. The MAC numbers are utimately the property of the EPA. My questions are:
Do I need to hurry and set up my info retrieval today, as the sensors are being disconnected today and tomorrow? Do I set up a different project for each sensor, to start with? I suppose I am really asking on what basis do I have access to data? I will probably have more questions! Many thanks. One other thing, another member of our group has also purchased a sensor. Obviously she has set it up in her name, email etc… Can I analyse her data for her too?
