# Air Quality Skill Air quality is a daily decision input — run outside or inside, windows open or closed, mask or not — and Open-Meteo serves it globally over plain HTTPS, no key, no signup. This skill fetches it, then does the part the raw number doesn't: translating PM2.5 and AQI into the standard health bands, matched to what the user was actually deciding. ## What This Skill Produces - **The read** — one sentence: the air right now and what it suggests for the stated activity - **The numbers** — AQI plus the pollutants that matter (PM2.5, PM10, ozone, NO₂), with the timestamp - **The bands** — where today sits on the standard scale, so the number has meaning - **The command** — the exact curl, rerunnable ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **Location** — lat/lon or a place name (geocode first: `https://geocoding-api.open-meteo.com/v1/search?name=Delhi&count=1`) - **The decision behind the question** — a run, a bike commute, a sensitive-lungs household, open windows — the read is calibrated to it - **Which index they think in** — US AQI or European AQI (the API serves both; the numbers differ substantially for the same air) ## Framework: The Fetch and the Read 1. **The call:** `curl -s "https://air-quality-api.open-meteo.com/v1/air-quality?latitude=28.61&longitude=77.21&current=pm2_5,pm10,ozone,nitrogen_dioxide,us_aqi,european_aqi"` — add `&hourly=pm2_5,us_aqi&forecast_days=2` when the question is "when today will it be best." 2. **The US AQI bands,...
