Heads-up: PurpleAir JSON query now requires an API key... grrrrr.

It appears they shut off the old queries like http://www.purpleair.com/json?show=4299 and now redirect to a server that won’t respond to the query.

Discontinuation of the /json and /data.json urls - API - PurpleAir Community says

After a few years of grace period, we are now redirecting these two URLs (www.purpleair.com/json and www.purpleair.com/data.json ) to a server that will not respond.

Please contact us if you have any questions or need any help getting going on our new API, at https://api.purpleair.com .

Sigh… I’ve sent an email to request a READ key, and will rework my scripts to use it instead. Meanwhile, the realtime query script(s) are very broken… no data available.

For weather software developers that support realtime queries, they’ll have to obtain keys and rewrite that portion of their software.
Grumble.

Just requested read keys, come here and you beat me to it. :smiley:

This appears to have broken the Purple Air interface Brian uses in Advance Setup also. I managed to get read and write keys from Purple Air but don’t know how or if it will help here. Will wait to see if someone figures it out.
