Contributor badges are IQAir’s way to appreciate and recognize contributors for reaching special contribution milestones. They acknowledge contributions for making outdoor air quality data available in six categories:

  • Multi-Station Contributor
    Acknowledges a contributor with more than one station
  • Follower Favorite
    Acknowledges a contributor that has stations with a high number of followers
  • Veteran Contributor
    Acknowledges a veteran contributor
  • 99% Uptime
    Recognizes contributors whose station(s) have an uptime of above 99% for the last month
  • City Pioneer
    Recognizes a contributor that put up the first station in a city or town
  • Country Pioneer
    Recognizes a contributor that set up the first station in a country, region or territory

This article explains how badges work, when they are updated, where they are displayed, and what each badge status means.

Badge types, levels, and requirements

Where badges appear

  • Public profile: Shows the highest-level badge for each multi-level category, along with all single-level badges you have received.
  • Private profile view: In addition to the badges you have already obtained, you can also view the badges in progress and the 99% uptime badges you have missed.

When badges are generated

  • Badges are issued at the beginning of every month for the previous month.
