The primary goal of the code of this repo is to learn how to automatically scrape data from the CPCB website. For this I use RSelenium, seleniumPipes and packages from the tidyverse.
My first goal (and primary motivation) is to get all PM2.5 data for the two stations in Hyderabad, see this file. The function for scraping data for a given day and location is in this file.
The downloaded data was saved in a csv file which I don't include here because I don't know if I can (please refer to the original source for licensing questions). That said, you can contact me and I might send it to you. :smile_cat:
The next step will be to try and download more data for injecting them into OpenAQ. For this I'll have to learn how to lookup the earliest date with data for all stations, probably from this page. I wasn't able to find how to choose a parameter by its value instead of its position but I could figure that out or use RSelenium::getElementText to at least know how many parameters there are.
In the issues I also discuss other possible data sources.
