Raw emission factor

Create an estimate using a specific emission factor

HTTP POST to /v1/estimates/emission-factor

Public endpoint

Request body

emission_factor_idstringrequired

The emission factor unique identifier

activityobjectrequired

A measure of the activity being estimated

valuestringrequired

Pattern: ^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?$

The quantity of the activity being measured.

For example, if you using the Basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys and first products thereof emission factor to estimate the emission of $1000 of steel pipe. Pass "1000" as value.

unitoneOfrequired
Currency code

The units of the activity being measured.

This property must be equal or compatible with the emission factor's denominator.

For example, if you using the Basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys and first products thereof emission factor, which has an intensity of 0.738411878489 kgCO2e/EUR to estimate the emission of $1000 of steel pipe. Pass "USD" as unit. Where possible, we apply a conversion factor to the unit.

namestring

A name to reference this calculation.

bundle_selectionarray

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.

object

Maps a bundle id to an allocation ratio

bundle_idstringrequired

The bundle's unique identifier

percentageoneOf
Selection percentage as integer

quantity_truncstring

Selects to which precision to truncate quantities specific to carbon offsetting.

g

kg

t

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:

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