This seems pretty do-able with a basic scraper. The HTML contains the raw measurements for the locations, wrapped in the following div:

7 years ago The Indonesia Meteorological Agency (BKMG) recently updated their website and the URL has changed. The BKMG website can be accessed here: http://www.bmkg.go.id/?lang=EN The individual pollutants can be accessed under the heading "Air Quality/Kualitas Udara"; here's the link for the PM10 page http://www.bmkg.go.id/kualitas-udara/informasi-partikulat-pm10.bmkg
I plan to work with the WRI Indonesia office to determine the best contact for BKMG to request official permission to use the data.

4 years ago It would be good to look into this source and see if it still exists/meets the following requirements:
-
[ ] Data is ‘raw’ and reported in physical concentrations not in an 'Air Quality Index' or equivalent (e.g. AQI, PSI, API) format
-
[ ] Data is at the ‘station-level' with geographic coordinates, not aggregated into a higher (e.g. city) level
-
[ ] Data is from measurements averaged between 10 minutes and 24 hours
-
[ ] (Nice to have) Programmatic access
Of course listed as a priority due to recent AQ issues in the region, but there are issues accessing data at an appropriate time resolution (@olafveerman, correct/edit if I'm mistaken).
After discussions with WRI/GFW, they are particularly interested in AQ data from countries affected by the fires in Indonesia.
Here is the general AQ data page for Indonesia: http://www.bmkg.go.id/BMKG_Pusat/Kualitas_Udara/
Here is an example of one of the page (PM10). I am unsure if we can programmatically get data from this page either from the graph (hover over point) or hit 'view data': http://www.bmkg.go.id/BMKG_Pusat/Kualitas_Udara/Informasi_Partikulat.bmkg
