📢 API v0.2 – Release Notes

Following the launch of the API in July, the technical team has been working on adding new features to facilitate and bring more value to PlanetWatch’s clients and partners that want to tackle air pollution through precise air quality data.

We are happy to introduce you to the Breaking Changes and new features that were just released with version 0.2, which are divided into three primary services: Contact Management; Organization Management; Air Quality.
