A shell script, get_latest.sh
uses the Purple Air API to pull data from all sensor IDs listed in the sensor
file for the fields specified in fields
, for the past month. Register with Purple Air to get an API key and add that key variable to a .env under .gitignore.
Fields to be pulled from the sensor include: sensor_index, humidity, temperature, pressure, voc, pm2.5_atm_a, pm2.5_atm_b. Field descriptions can be found here.
Each sensor will have a temporary file created with the past month's data that gets appended to a larger csv file for each sensor.
