The World Air Quality Index project is a non-profit project started in 2007. Their mission is to promote air pollution awareness and ensure access to world-wide air quality information. They provide REST APIs to get access to data from weather and air quality monitoring stations around the globe. You can use other data sources to build a service that focuses on social issues as well!

In this example, we will build a service, powered by Node.js — a JavaScript Runtime and the Vonage Messages API, that will send information about the current air quality at a given location over WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

The source code for the example we will build can also be found on GitHub.
