Create a flight emission estimate

Estimate emissions produced by passengers in a commercial airflight.

Parameters

Either the flight distance or the start/destination airport code (ICAO or IATA).

cabin_classenum

Cabin of class to be used for the specified passengers. Higher classes account for more emissions since total weight and volume necessary to accomodate the class is higher. This parameter defaults to first.

Enum:
  • economy
  • business
  • first
passengersnumber

Number of passengers the calculation should be applied to. This parameter defaults to 1.

bundle_selectionarray of object

Bundle selection percentages.

The sum of all percentages must equal 100.

If not specified, the preconfigured allocation ratios are going to be used.

If, for each selection, percentage is not provided, the selection is divided equally (best effort) between bundles. percentage must be provided for all or none of the bundles.

quantity_truncenum

Unit, t for tonne, kg for kilogram, g for gram

Enum:
  • g
  • kg
  • t
namestring

A name used to reference this calculation.

metadataobject

An arbitrary dictionary (key-value pairs) to store application-specific information.

Lune doesn't use this information for order processing. Its purpose is for the API clients to be able to attach arbitrary information (to an order for example) and then retrieve it.

idempotency_keystring

Account-unique identifier provided by the client.

idempotency_key has two purposes:

  1. Clients can safely retry estimate requests without accidentally performing the same operation multiple times.
  2. Clients can use idempotency_key to reconcile estimates with entities on their system.
Returns
