What if I just want an emissions factor ??
smallcog
Lets say that I'm doing the data storage thing myself for whatever
reason. I'd like to use AMEE as the reference for emissions factors,
for example, the emissions factor for ecotricity electricity. Can
someone explain how I would do this ? I've looked at the documentation
and it doesn't make it clear to me. I wonder whether the documentation
is sparklingly clear for those who already understand it but a bit
opaque for others like myself.
Best regards / Colm

You can access the emission factors directly using the Data API
(http://trac.amee.com/wiki/AmeeDataApi). You can either take the
factors you get and use them yourself, or you can do on-the-fly
calculations without having to create a profile by adding parameters a
the GET request to the Data API. See
http://trac.amee.com/wiki/AmeeDataApi/DataItem for more details.
If you want to try out your URLs, you can use the web interface to the
staging environment at http://stage.amee.com. To see the results of
on-the-fly calculations, you will need to look at the JSON or XML
output using the buttons at the right hand side (e.g.
https://stage.co2.dgen.net/data/transport/car/specific/FCCE3D98F3EC?distanceKmPerMonth=1000)
