Indoor/outdoor sensors

Hello - I’m trying to identify indoor vs outdoor sensors in PA data. I think it’s location_type but not clear which category is which? I didn’t see this info posted previously and appreciate the help.

Hi Laura, and welcome! Yes, what you’re looking for is location_type, and you can find the description in the documentation. I’ve included a screenshot below for your convenience.

+1 for Andrew being so courteous with this reply. I’ve heard other API hosts complain “just read the docs” but sometimes we do just be missin’ things.

I’m happy to help! The docs are complicated, so it can sometimes be challenging to find what you need. We’ve been making changes to them to make navigation a bit easier.

A good method to follow if you’re ever trying to find a field/parameter description is to Ctrl/Command + F and search for that field/parameter name.
