OpenAQ Quality Checks

OpenAQ Quality Checks is a command line interface for flagging potentially invalid air quality measurements.

Use

Prerequisites

• node, npm, nvm
• jq is recommended if using json.

Install

nvm use 8.9.4
npm install openaq-quality-check -g

Develop

git clone https://github.com/openaq/openaq-quality-checks
cd openaq-quality-checks
nvm use
yarn install
yarn test

Configuration

openaq-quality-checks expects a list of items, either in json or csv.

A set of default flags are configured in config.yml. The default flags are:

• E flags the value -999
• N flags negative values
• R flags repeating values, grouped by coordinates and ordered by date.

This configuration can be overriden using the --config <file.yml> argument, which should point to a yml file which has the following structure:

keyOne: # Arbitrary identifier for the flag, e.g. 'errors'. Useful for merging with the default configuration.
  flag: Any string, e.g. E
  type: One of exact|set|range|repeats
  # Depending on the type, other values may be included. See lib/flagger.js for what can be configured.
keyTwo:
  # ...

This configuration is merged with the default configuration, overriding fields that exist and adding fields that do not exist.
