AQMeshData.net

Users of AQMeshData.net can login here.

With AQMeshData.net users can:

View readings graphically or in tabular form
Download readings
Manage AQMesh pod settings
Add slope and offset value

AQMeshData.net uses the https:// protocol, where the ‘s’ represents a secure connection using SSL (secure socket layer). SSL is a type of security that provides an encrypted connection to the server.

API

The AQMesh API offers a secure and seamless air quality data feed into any system or media.

API stands for “Application Programming Interface” and is a machine-to-machine protocol that clients may use to integrate AQMesh data with other systems.

Please note that setting up and using the AQMesh API will require clients to have some level of computer programming knowledge and understanding in order to implement correctly on their side.

api.AQMeshData.net uses the https:// protocol, where the ‘s’ represents a secure connection using SSL (secure socket layer). SSL is a type of security that provides an encrypted connection to the server. The API connection also requires encrypted OATH tokens which offers another level of protection.

AirMonitors.net

AirMonitors.net is a cloud based application providing management, analysis, validation and reporting of air quality data. It is compatible with AQMesh pods, AQWeb data loggers and can ingest and combine data from other online sources.

AirMonitors.net provides an easy to use interface in most major languages helping users to view and compare data from their AQMesh monitoring sites and make sense of the data. A linear regression tool allows comparisons between pods or between pods and reference stations to be managed and will automatically apply slope and offset adjustments to pod data further improving “out of the box” data quality.

Open Air tools provide the ability to analyse air quality data using powerful graphical formats in a matter of seconds and output in a variety of formats. Data can be exported in JSON , CSV and XML formats from the application or via an API for integration into other software packages. Airmonitors.net is available for a small monthly subscription and includes all of the above features at no additional cost.
