This looks like an issue with the AirVisual API: it no longer returns main pollutant information. None of the documentation reflects this, so I'm assuming it's a bug. I've reached out to AirVisual support.

@bachya Sorry for this inconvenience. Ardit from AirVisual team here. Actually, the bug was that it was returning the "Main Pollutant" using a free API key (Community Plan) and that bug was fixed so that's why it was not returning "Main Pollutant" anymore. We made an exception for our old users to have access to "Main Pollutant" using Community Plan. Just a heads up that this will not be available for the new users that register for with Community Plan. If you wanna have access to "Main Pollutant" you need to upgrade to Startup plan.

Really nice work on your end and thank you for using our service.

I just received this message from my support ticket:

The main pollutant value has been restored for all Community plan API keys, old and new.

@arditdine Can you confirm?

[arditdine]

Yes, that's right. PM decided to make Main Pollutant available for all plans

It is back and working for me, thank you!
