02Data
What you can sync.
- Sensors
- Pm2.5 readings
- Sensor history
- Groups
Join PurpleAir sensors with your own figures, so plans and reports carry the market context they need.
Need more? Name any other PurpleAir data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- An API key
PurpleAir uses an API key. You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in PurpleAir if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick PurpleAir.
Open Lake, pick PurpleAir in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the PurpleAir API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the PurpleAir documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example sensors and pm2.5 readings), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then PurpleAir data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
