Ambee

Environmental data API for air quality, weather conditions, pollen counts, fires, and natural-disaster history.

Good for climate and health apps that pull hyperlocal air quality, forecasts, historical readings, and recent natural-disaster events by location.

Example Use Cases

These are example ways Snow can use Ambee when building apps with you. This list is meant to show examples, not document every possible capability. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these automatically on its own.

Geocode by Place

Tool to transform a place name or address into geographic coordinates. Use after confirming the location name to get precise latitude and longitude.

Get Air Quality by City

Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific city. Use after obtaining a valid city name when current AQI and pollutant levels are needed.

Get Air Quality by Country Code

Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific country using a 3-letter ISO code. Use after acquiring the country code and when you want a national overview of air quality.

Get Air Quality by Latitude and Longitude

Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific latitude and longitude. Use when you need hyper-local air quality readings for given coordinates.

Get Air Quality by Postal Code

Retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific postal code and country. Returns comprehensive air quality metrics including pollutant concentrations (PM2.5, PM10, CO, NO2, O3, SO2), Air Quality Index (AQI) with category (Good/Moderate/Unhealthy), and location details. Data is updated hourly with 500-meter spatial resolution following US EPA standards. Use this when you need hyper-local air quality insights for a specific postal code.

Get Air Quality Forecast by Latitude and Longitude

Tool to retrieve air quality forecast for a specific latitude and longitude. Use when you need predicted air quality data up to 48 hours in advance based on geographic coordinates.

Get Air Quality History by Latitude and Longitude

Tool to retrieve historical air quality data for a specific latitude and longitude. Use when you need past air quality readings for given coordinates within the last 2 days.

Get Current Weather by Latitude and Longitude

Tool to retrieve current weather data for a specific latitude and longitude, including temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind conditions. Use when you need real-time weather information for given coordinates.

Get Elevation by Latitude and Longitude

Tool to retrieve elevation statistics (min, max, mean) for a specific latitude and longitude. Use when you need geospatial elevation data for a location within North America.

Get Elevation by Place

Retrieve elevation statistics (minimum, maximum, and mean) for a location by place name. Returns elevation data in meters above sea level. This endpoint has global coverage and is updated every 6 months. Use this when you have a place name (like "San Francisco, USA" or "Tokyo") and need detailed elevation information.
