openSenseMap is a citizen-science environmental sensor network run by the University of Münster's senseBox project: 17,000+ registered boxes reporting temperature, humidity, particulate matter, pressure, light and similar measurements, with box metadata, per-sensor time series and spatial statistics.

Capabilities (7)

GET /v1/data/opensensemap/box1 credit

Returns one senseBox by id: name, timestamps, current location, exposure, model, group tag and every sensor with its title, unit and sensor type.

boxId
GET /v1/data/opensensemap/boxes1 credit

Returns the senseBoxes inside a bounding box, each with its id, name, exposure, current coordinates and timestamp, model, group tag and the list of sensors it carries.

bboxlimit?phenomenon?exposure?grouptag?date?name?
GET /v1/data/opensensemap/box-sensors1 credit

boxId
GET /v1/data/opensensemap/descriptive-statistics1 credit

Returns one row per sensor with a time-bucketed aggregate (default arithmetic mean) of a phenomenon for every box in a bounding box, keyed by bucket timestamp.

bboxphenomenonfromDatetoDatewindow?
GET /v1/data/opensensemap/measurements1 credit
