The `airvisual` sensor platform queries the [AirVisual](https://airvisual.com/) API for air quality data. Data can be collected via latitude/longitude or by city/state/country. The resulting information creates sensors for the Air Quality Index (AQI), the human-friendly air quality level, and the main pollutant of that area. Sensors that conform to either/both the [U.S. and Chinese air quality standards](https://www.clm.com/publication.cfm?ID=366) can be created.

This platform requires an AirVisual API key, which can be obtained [here](https://airvisual.com/api). Note that the platform was designed using the "Community" package; the "Startup" and "Enterprise" package keys should continue to function, but actual results may vary (or not work at all).

The "Community" API key is limited to 10,000 calls per month. In order to leave a buffer, the `airvisual` platform queries the API every 10 minutes (600 seconds) by default. Modification of this (via the `scan_interval` key) to a too-low value may result in your API key being deactivated.

## Example Configurations
Configuration using custom Latitude and Longitude:
No explicit configuration (uses the `latitude` and `longitude` defined within `configuration.yaml`):
```yaml
sensor:
- platform: airvisual
airvisual:
api_key: YOUR_AIRVISUAL_API_KEY
monitored_conditions:
- cn
show_on_map: false
scan_interval: 300
latitude: 42.81212
longitude: 108.12422
```
Configuration using city, state, and country:
Configuration using a single custom latitude and longitude:
```yaml
sensor:
- platform: airvisual
airvisual:
api_key: YOUR_AIRVISUAL_API_KEY
monitored_conditions:
- us
show_on_map: false
geographies:
latitude: 42.81212
longitude: 108.12422
scan_interval: 300
city: Los Angeles
state: California
country: USA
```
Configuration using multiple custom latitude and longitude pairs:
```yaml
airvisual:
api_key: YOUR_AIRVISUAL_API_KEY
geographies:
- latitude: 42.81212
longitude: 108.12422
- latitude: 32.87336

Configuration using a single city, state, and country:
