AirAware Data Source Roadmap

Candidate feeds, dashboards, APIs, and reference systems for the global AirAware buildout.

Back to AirAware Global / Normalized data shape

How To Read This

This is the working intake list for AirAware. A source can be useful as a live API, a scheduled ingestion feed, a map tile layer, a public reference page, or a country/region lead that still needs adapter work. Prefer bulk feeds, files, bounding boxes, tiles, and country/region datasets over per-location calls whenever a provider supports them.

Enabled already used in the prototype Next high-priority adapter candidate Candidate useful, but needs terms or endpoint review Reference supporting information or country lead

Build Status

Live Prototype

Enabled

Location-first snapshot, flat map, 3D globe, grouped marker details, and source status are live.

Normalized Records

Next

New adapters should emit one shared AirAware observation shape for wastewater, sensors, alerts, fires, pollen, and weather.

Review the data shape

Next Adapter Queue

Next

Priority is U.S./global AQI and sensor layers, wildfire/smoke layers, public alerts, school IAQ, and country wastewater feeds.

Publishing Contract

Draft

The public schema is a draft contract for GitHub collaborators; it can evolve by version instead of ad hoc row changes.
