Carbonmark API Reference Documentation

You can find the latest API Reference docs of the Carbonmark REST API at api.carbonmark.com/.

The root api.carbonmark.com domain is always running the latest version of the code on the main branch of the monorepo. As mentioned above, any breaking changes and hotfixes will be tagged with a version number in the monorepo.

These are generated from an OpenAPI JSON spec that is auto-generated from our Fastify schemas. The raw JSON spec is not kept in source control-- it can be accessed at api.carbonmark.com/openapi.json.

Fastify schemas are co-located with the respective route handlers, except for the root OpenAPI config, which is located in src/plugins/open-api.ts. For more info, see the @fastify/swagger plugin docs.
