OpenAQ is an aggregator of many sources of air quality data. The platform maintains a reference to the original source of the data we collect. Some sources may provide an additional readme text file with additional metadata about the source.

#### Implementation
OpenAQ aggregates air quality data from disparate sources around the world to provide access of these sources in a single location. OpenAQ uses an ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) process to ingest and harmonize air quality data. The data process has four main components: fetch, storage, presentation and archive.

#### API Core Concepts
**Fetch**: OpenAQ fetch scripts range from HTML scrapers, FTP directory scanners to REST API scrapers depending on the source of the data.
**Storage**: Data is stored in a PostgreSQL database using the TimeScale extension for added time series functionality and PostGIS for geospatial functionality.
**Presentation**: OpenAQ provides a REST API for programmatic access of the database.
**Archive**: Data is stored in a publicly available AWS S3 bucket via the Open Data on AWS program.
