OpenAQ provides standard pm2.5 and pm10 values in real time. instead of delhi commission pollution commitee as source use openAQ.

also I can help out in adding that, it's better to data from proper API than Scraping from websites. :)

Hey @sourabhtk37

We went with DPCC because our hackathon than strict restrictions on data sources to be validated by the Government of India. Although I don't mind extending the library to be better in general. @prabhakar267 @Swati4star please take relevant actions.

openaq has data source from govt established institutions like urban emission and various other prominent sources.

@sourabhtk37 Sure you can go ahead with including any better sources. Ping me or @mbad0la for any queries :v:

Been busy but if anyone would like to take this up here's a python wrapper (https://github.com/dhhagan/py-openaq) to ease the task with connecting to openaq-api.
