The Predicted and Actual Air Quality Components API for The Netherlands, provided by RIVM, is an essential tool for anyone looking to monitor and analyze air quality data. This API offers real-time access to both predicted and actual values of various air quality components, including pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), and ozone (O3). By integrating this data into applications or research, users can gain insights into environmental conditions, health impacts, and trends over time, which is crucial for policy-making, urban planning, and public health initiatives. The API’s documentation, found at https://api-docs.luchtmeetnet.nl/, provides detailed guidance on how to effectively utilize these resources.

Utilizing the Predicted and Actual Air Quality Components API provides numerous benefits for developers, researchers, and policymakers. Key advantages of this API include:

Access to accurate, real-time air quality data for The Netherlands.
Historical data analysis for tracking air quality trends.
Predictive models to assess future air quality conditions.
Support for various air quality indicators, enhancing research depth.
A user-friendly documentation site that simplifies integration into projects.

Here’s a simple JavaScript code example demonstrating how to call the API:

const axios = require('axios');

async function getAirQualityData() {
    try {
        const response = await axios.get('https://api.luchtmeetnet.nl/airquality', {
            params: {
                location: 'NL', // Specify the location
                date: new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0], // Today's date
            }
        });
        console.log('Air Quality Data:', response.data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching air quality data:', error);
    }
}

getAirQualityData();
