Argentina data no longer works, no clear data source to use

Requesting help (especially Spanish speaking) in confirming that this data source no longer shares hourly AQ data:


The previous adapter for Argentina has broken. It look like the same underlying source shares data graphically, but not with actual physical values that can be reported on an hourly basis:

Someone has pointed us to this link, but it appears to only share stationlocations and names.

There is also a great page that lists various APIs available, but it doesn't appear to include air quality data.

Update: We've been pointed to this page for more data sources: https://data.buenosaires.gob.ar/dataset?tags=ambiente&tags=sensores&tags=clima&_tags_limit=0

It looks like max CO is available, not as an average or in real-time. If anyone finds out otherwise, give a shout out.

Found a possible source for Argentina: http://jmb.acumar.gov.ar/calidad/historicos.php, looks like the data is hourly and raw, may need som scraping, but I can not find the locations of the stations, they had a map showing where they were located, but that looks like it is non-functioning at the moment

The urls above don't appear to be working anymore, I found a site for Buenos Aires https://buenosaires.gob.ar/areas/med_ambiente/apra/calidad_amb/red_monitoreo/index.php?estacion=1&menu_id=34234 . It appears to just be AQI. We could really use a good source for Argentina as we have almost no coverage there

We already have data in Buenos Aires, see locations 5242,5241 and 5240. Additional sites across the rest of Argentina would be great thouhg
