  description: >-
    Ambee's environmental-intelligence REST API delivers hyperlocal air quality,
    pollen, weather, wildfire, soil, and NDVI/vegetation data worldwide. All
    requests are authenticated with an API key sent in the `x-api-key` header and
    are scoped by latitude/longitude, postal code, city, country code, or place
    name. Responses are JSON envelopes containing a `message` and `data` payload.
