Overview
BreezoMeter Pollen API (now part of Google Maps Platform) provides daily pollen forecast data including pollen type, index values, and risk levels for a specific geographic location. An API key from Google Maps Platform is required to authenticate requests. It is valuable for building health apps, outdoor activity planners, or allergy alert systems.
Beginner Tip
Enable the Pollen API in your Google Cloud Console project and make sure billing is set up — the API has a free tier but requires a billing account. Use latitude and longitude coordinates (not city names) when querying pollen data.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

} Field Reference
dailyInfo Array of daily pollen forecast objects, one per requested day. dailyInfo[].date Date of the forecast with year, month, and day fields. dailyInfo[].pollenTypeInfo List of pollen types (e.g., GRASS, TREE, WEED) with index and risk level. pollenTypeInfo[].indexInfo.value Numeric pollen index value indicating concentration level. pollenTypeInfo[].indexInfo.category Risk category such as None, Very Low, Low, Medium, High, or Very High. pollenTypeInfo[].inSeason Whether this pollen type is currently in season for the location. Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://docs.breezometer.com/api-documentation/pollen-api/v2/";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
