Making Requests

The primary API class is a factory class that creates objects for each of the API modules, allowing you to make requests to any of them with your desired request parameters. You have to first create an object for it, then access your desired API module via the object. See the code snippets below:

const apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
const waqiAPI = new API(apiKey);

Replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with the actual API key you already obtained from above.

For City Feed:

const cityFeedEntity = waqiAPI.cityFeed();
cityFeedEntity.setCity("Munich");
cityFeedEntity
  .fetchItems()
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });

For Search:

const searchEntity = waqiAPI.search();
searchEntity.setKeyword("Johannesburg");
searchEntity
  .fetchItems()
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });

For Lat/Lng based Geolocalized feed:

const geoFeedEntity = waqiAPI.geoFeed();
geoFeedEntity.setCoordinates(37.7749, -122.4194);
geoFeedEntity
  .fetchItems()
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });

For IP based Geolocalized feed:

const ipFeedEntity = waqiAPI.ipFeed();
ipFeedEntity.setIP("MY_IP");
ipFeedEntity
  .fetchItems()
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });

For Map Queries:

const mapStationEntity = waqiAPI.mapStation();
mapStationEntity.setMapBounds(40.712, -74.006, 34.052, -118.243);
mapStationEntity
  .fetchItems()
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });
