PM2.5 Open Data Portal API
Overview
PM2.5 Open Data Portal provides free access to low-cost PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) sensor data from the LASS community network across Asia, particularly Taiwan. No API key is required, making it instantly accessible for developers and researchers. The API returns sensor readings in JSON format and supports filtering by device ID, location, or time range.
Beginner Tip
No registration required — you can start fetching PM2.5 sensor data immediately using the REST endpoints. Use the /project/all/ endpoint to browse available data projects, then narrow down to specific device readings using a device ID.
Available Data
Example Response
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"result": "Data from PM2.5 Open Data Portal",
"description": "Open low-cost PM2.5 sensor data",
"timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
}
} Field Reference
device_id Unique identifier of the LASS sensor device that recorded the measurement feeds Array of time-stamped sensor readings from the device feeds[].AirBox.s_d0 PM2.5 concentration in micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³) from the primary sensor channel feeds[].timestamp ISO 8601 timestamp indicating when the measurement was recorded by the sensor source Data source identifier indicating which sensor network or project provided the data Implementation Example
const url = "https://pm25.lass-net.org/";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
