Limit to Historical Data #94

Closed callieclark closed 2 years ago

callieclark commented 2 years ago

I am trying to pull data for the first six months of 2020 for all of the Bay Area, and it appears that I am not able to query that far back. I checked with PurpleAir and the data should be accessible for that time period. Is there a restriction applied through this API that could be creating this issue?

Thanks for the help!

Ostensibly if the data is in the API this library should retrieve it. Are you able to share the code you are using to request the relevant data?

Actually, I found the issue. Looks like the majority of the sensors I was testing were fairly new (must be due to the wildfires) and the data actually did not exist. Thank you for the input!
