Air Quality (AQ) API JSON Data

je5c · March 2018

Hi - I am working on an installation that will be using 'real time' data from an AQ mesh pod API. I want to turn the data (which provides a minute-to-minute output of this data) into a JS object and then sonify. Below is the data I am receiving:

https://api.airmonitors.net/3.0/interface/a95a08aC/8e9d-2701-A6ji-meFI-me8A-junC-7a70-0f69/stationdata/date/201803180015/201803210800/102150>;

                "SensorId": 580
            }
        ]
    }

I am plenty comfortable processing the JS into audio in the browser, but does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? I have toyed with APIs in the past, but I am not well-versed.
