8 years ago Looking through #103, it's looking like there is significant (and perhaps complete) overlap with the data here. So, closing this for now but once that source is up, if there are any identified gaps with these data, we can pull these in, individually. Thanks!

8 months ago Hello, I am new to all of this, but at least when looking at the openaq explorer it seems like it does not have a lot of the data the Umweltbundesamt has.
Also it seems like there is an offical documented api now

8 months ago Hi @ElFrogster the map view your seeing in Explorer filters the data by parameter, so the "missing" stations youre seeing likely just dont measure the pollutant you are currently filtering to. You can see on this map the coverage looks much closer to the luftqualitaet.
Your comment is great validation for an update I am working on as we speak to show all locations, regardless of parameter, to help resolve this confusion.

8 months ago Ok, got it! Yeah, now it seems to line up pretty well.
Germany has a nice, but undocumented API of nearly all stations across the country. It has no license (I have asked them, but no response so far) and it is probably part of the EEA API #103.
It currently supports the following pollutants:
