- current_by_zip — Latest observed AQI for a US ZIP code. Returns one record per pollutant reported at the nearest site (typically O3 + PM2.5). Includes AQI value, category (Good / Moderate / etc.), reporting area, and
- current_by_location — Latest observed AQI for the AirNow station nearest a lat/lon.
- forecast_by_zip — AQI forecast for a US ZIP code on a given date (defaults to today). Useful for “is tomorrow ok for outdoor activity” decisions.
- observations_in_bbox — Historical AQI observations inside a bounding box for a date range. Specify pollutants as comma-separated parameter codes (e.g., “OZONE,PM25,PM10,CO,NO2,SO2”). bbox format: “minLon,minLat,maxLon,maxLa
