About PurpleAir

Through Operate As, your agent, n8n workflow or code works in PurpleAir with your client's own access. Your client pastes their read key from PurpleAir once. We store it encrypted, so it never sits in an email or a shared doc. Your agent reaches any endpoint of PurpleAir's API through the request tool, with the client's access attached.
