Reference data, not another dashboard

Two lookups every EU carbon-compliance tool needs

CBAM default emission values and grid carbon intensity, kept current and served over a plain REST API — so you don't maintain the regulation's tables by hand.

Grid intensity is live — subscribe below and a key is issued automatically. CBAM is not yet open — the endpoint exists but no regulatory data is loaded until it's verified against the official source.

CBAM

Default emission value lookup

Given a product (CN code) and country of origin, get the EU's official CBAM default carbon emission value, with the regulation's yearly markup already applied. For customs brokers, trade-compliance teams, and CBAM reporting software.

Request

GET /api/v1/cbam/default-value
    ?cn_code=7208 10
    &country=CN
    &year=2026
Authorization: Bearer cbamrates_live_...

Response — shape only, not a real figure

Grid intensity

Grid carbon intensity lookup

Given a country and year, get grid carbon intensity in gCO2e/kWh — sourced from Ember's Yearly Electricity Data (CC BY 4.0). Built for carbon calculators, ESG dashboards, and anyone estimating Scope 2 electricity emissions.

Request

GET /api/v1/grid/intensity
    ?country=DEU
    &year=2025
Authorization: Bearer cbamrates_live_...

Response — real figure, from the verified dataset
