Documentation
Climatiq simplifies the process of calculating your environmental footprint. We help you understand your impact on the environment by converting your operational activity data into CO2e estimates. With our REST API, you can easily integrate Climatiq into your software and systems and automatically generate CO2e values using scientifically validated emission factors from the Climatiq database.
Make your first CO2e estimate with the Climatiq API

Guides covering a broad variety of topics, from explaining emission factors and life cycle assessments, to explaining how to upgrade data versions or getting the most out of specific endpoints.
Features
Our API has a number of endpoints for searching and estimating emission factors, as well as specific purposes like calculating emissions from transport using different modes (opens in a new tab), or estimating activities classified under industry-specific classification schemes.
Determine what emission factors are available to be used in your estimates.
Calculate total estimated emissions produced for a particular activity.
Calculating emissions for shipping across several different modalities, such as air, sea and road
Calculate the carbon footprint of the cloud resources you use.
Calculate total estimated emissions produced by passenger flights between the specified airports.
Calculate emissions produced for a particular activity, as described by MCC, NACE, or ISIC.
Calculate total estimated emissions produced for a particular activity in kgCO2e using a custom activity.
In-Depth Guides
A collection of tutorials for using some of our advanced endpoints, and guides for understanding how emission factors are calculated.
If you are new to calculating carbon emissions, you might be overwhelmed by all the specific phrases - so get started by learning about the most important one: Emission Factors.
Calculating emissions for shipping across several different modalities, such as air, sea and road is a complex undertaking - use Climatiq's dedicated endpoint for quick estimations.
Climatiq's out-of-the-box mapping of leading industry classification schemes like ISIC, NACE and MCC enable you to quickly estimate your spend-based carbon emissions.
The API can be used with any programming language, but here are a few handy snippets to help you get started with Python.
