Management

Preview Feature

This feature is currently in preview. That means that we believe the feature is good enough to start using, but:

There might still be bugs or edge cases we haven't covered.
The documentation and error messages might be less detailed.
We might need to make further changes in the API surface.

We need the ability to iterate quickly on preview versions, so we offer less guarantees of stability. When we make changes to the preview version, we will release a new version, and you must migrate to this new version within one month. Read more about API versioning at Climatiq here.For this reason, preview endpoints are not available without explicitly opting in. If you would like to opt-in to this preview feature, please contact us.

For most users, the easiest way to get started is by creating projects and API keys through the Climatiq dashboard (opens in a new tab). For some use-cases you might need to manage many projects and API keys, and then clicking through the UI can become unwieldy and time-consuming.

For cases like these, Climatiq offers a management API to programmatically create, read, update and delete your projects and API keys.

Authentication

These API endpoints are authenticated by a user-level management API key, not a regular API key. While a regular API key is scoped to one particular project, a management API key is scoped to a user, and allows management of resources as that user.

Currently, there is no way to create one of these keys in the UI. If you need one of these keys, please reach out (opens in a new tab).

The management API key is used via the Authorization header, in the same position as a regular API key.

Project

One Climatiq user can have several projects. Projects have a name, and contain one or more API Keys. These are several endpoints that help you manage projects.

All endpoints operate on projects that belong to the user the provided management API key is attached to.

List

GET Returns the list of projects associated with the owner of the provided management API key.

Response parameters

API Keys

API Keys are used to authenticate with the Climatiq API to perform estimations, search for emission factors and more. API keys always belong to a project, and a project can have multiple API keys. Keep in mind that while these endpoints require a management API key, they do not allow for creation, updating or deleting management API keys - only regular ones.

⚠️
