AMEE DEVELOPER DOCS

Welcome to the AMEE Technical Docs.

AMEE is a REST API exposed as XML or JSON. Once you sign up for your developer key you'll get emailed with a username, password and URL. The URL let's you browse the API in full via a web interface (the web interface actually just makes API calls).

You should use AMEE to store "answers to questions" in a user/entity profile (ProfileItem). The API will return the kgCO2 based on the emissions factors (DataItem's) for that question.

The documentation below has detailed examples of how to make calls and get responses. There's a working php example and an example Java library. The AMEE wiki has the scientific methodologies and data examples - it actually makes API calls itself so the data reflects what's in AMEE. You can even add you own DataItem's here (beta!)

If you want to copy ActOnCO2, good starting points are here (do look at the spreadsheets)
