750 followers · 2397 posts · Server mastodon.ieThe Data Selector system offered by #Defra to download #AirQuality data is horrific.
Yes, the data is #openData but the formatting leaves much to be desired of.
Would columns indicating location name; location type (urban / suburban / rural); location usage (background / industrial / traffic) be too much to ask for to allow for easier data reformatting into a type suitable for analysis.
A bulk data downloader API a la https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ would be fab instead of relying on emailing links.
