The `airnow` integration uses the [AirNow](https://www.airnow.gov/) web service
as a source for air quality data for your location.
## Setup
To generate an AirNow API key, go to the [AirNow Developer Tools Page](https://docs.airnowapi.org/account/request/) page.
## Configuration
To add AirNow to your installation, go to **Configuration** >> **Integrations** in the UI, click the button with `+` sign and from the list of integrations select **AirNow**. By default, the values will be taken from the Home Assistant configuration.
<div class="note">
The AirNow API allows 500 data updates per hour, but since observations are only updated hourly, the default update rate is set to 2 per hour and should not trigger rate limiting. If you use this API key for other purposes, ensure the total request rate does not exceed 500 per hour.
