Santa Barbar Air Quality DS

If anyone's interested, I threw together a simple DS to pull air quality indices from ourair.org. The data's all around Santa Barbara, which is where our headquarters are. I did it more for an exam...

Yeah, precipitation was something I couldn't get for free.

FWIW, this is the json that my weather ds fetches: 


{
  "base": "stations",
  "clouds": {
    "all": 75
  },
  "cod": 200,
  "coord": {
    "lat": 30.58,
    "lon": -97.86
  },
  "dt": 1600371953,
  "id": 0,
  "main": {
    "feels_like": 301.38,
    "humidity": 58,
    "pressure": 1016,
    "temp": 301.86,
    "temp_max": 303.15,
    "temp_min": 300.37
  },
  "name": "Leander",
  "sys": {
    "country": "US",
    "id": 5739,
    "sunrise": 1600345037,
    "sunset": 1600389261,
    "type": 1
  },
  "timezone": -18000,
  "visibility": 10000,
  "weather": [
    {
      "description": "broken clouds",
      "icon": "04d",
      "id": 803,
      "main": "Clouds"
    }
  ],
  "wind": {
    "deg": 360,
    "gust": 8.2,
    "speed": 5.7
  }
}

 

weather is in there, which would be fine.  My recollection was that OWM was free for basic access with a query limit, and the query limit could be kept to with the new caching feature so I will definitely revisit it now. Found it:

60 calls/minute
1,000,000 calls/month

It sounds like a lot, but without caching....  yeah :).
