How to Get A Climatiq API Key
To use the Climatiq API for CO2-equivalent emission estimation, you will need an API key, which you will have to provide for each request. You can think of the API Key as the key to our house - if you have it you can come whenever you want and read our books (they're all full of emission factors).
Sign up
To get your API key you will have to sign up for Climatiq.
You can sign up at this link. (opens in a new tab)
You will be prompted for a few sign up details. Fill those in and you should end up at https://app.climatiq.io/ afterwards.
Copy API key
After you've signed up, click on "API Keys" in the sidebar. You'll see we've already generated an API key for you.
The long string in the "API Key" column is your API Key. You'll have to provide that when reading the API.
Make a request
