What IQAir (BYOK) is for

IQAir (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own IQAir data through the IQAir API with a key you supply (IQAir API key). Read-only: 8 tools (list_countries, list_states, list_cities, get_city_air_quality, get_nearest_city_air_quality, list_stations, get_station_air_quality, get_nearest_station_air_quality). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.airvisual.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by IQAir. IQAir and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

  • "Which countries does IQAir cover?"
  • "Which states in USA does IQAir cover?"
  • "Which cities in California does IQAir cover?"
  • "What is the air quality in Los Angeles right now?"
  • "What is the air quality near 34.05,-118.24?"
  • "Which air quality stations are in Seoul?"

  • list_cities: List the cities of a state that have active stations.
  • get_city_air_quality: Get the current air quality (US AQI and China AQI, main pollutant) and weather of a city. Detail depends on the key's plan.
  • get_nearest_city_air_quality: Get the current air quality and weather of the nearest city to coordinates.

BYOK key

You bring your own IQAir IQAir API key (https://www.iqair.com/dashboard/api). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.airvisual.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Privacy policy

Back to top

IQAir (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What IQAir (BYOK) is. IQAir (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own IQAir data: Read air quality (US and China AQI) and weather for cities, stations and coordinates from the IQAir API (formerly AirVisual) with your own key. You bring your own IQAir IQAir API key; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one IQAir call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to api.airvisual.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If IQAir rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What IQAir receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under IQAir's own terms and privacy policy. IQAir acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer IQAir gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your IQAir data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. IQAir (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at IQAir at any time to end all access.

Children. IQAir (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under IQAir's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
