The API documentation can be found at api.pm.chillibits.com.

If any questions occur, please feel free to reach out to us via email.

Push endpoint

If you have a sensor from luftdaten.info / sensor.community, you simply have to enable the option 'Feinstaub-App' in the APIs section. The data gets transmitted to our server automatically.

If you have built your own IoT device, you can also send data to our system. Setup the connection as follows:

• Request type: POST request
• Host: api.pm.chillibits.com
• Schema: http / https
• Port: 80 / 443

Note: Please use http for the data transmission from sensors to our API and https for transmissions between our API and your service.

The required data format can be found in our API documentation at api.pm.chillibits.com
