Find carbon projects by methodology category
You can search for carbon projects listed on Carbonmark by methodology category.
Each API endpoint will link to its reference documentation where you can create sample requests in other programming languages as well as enter the parameters you desire.
The /categories endpoint provides a list of all methodology categories used to delineate every project in the marketplace.
A carbon project may belong to one or more methodology categories.
Here's a sample of a request:
curl --request GET \
--url https://api.carbonmark.com/categories \
--header 'Accept: application/json'You'll receive a JSON response containing an array with category ids like this:
[
{
"id": "Blue Carbon"
},
{
"id": "Forestry"
},
{
"id": "Other"
},
{
"id": "Renewable Energy"
},
{
"id": "Industrial Processing"
},
{
"id": "Energy Efficiency"
},
{
"id": "Other Nature Based"
},
]Select your methodology category. Next, we'll call the /carbonProjects endpoint with our desired query parameters.
In this example, we'll search for carbon projects in the Forestry methodology category from Indonesia:
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.carbonmark.com/carbonProjects?country=Indonesia&category=Forestry' \
--header 'Accept: application/json'The response you receive will contain a list of all carbon projects that fit your query parameters. Below we've listed an example response:

"description": "The Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project, an initiative by InfiniteEARTH, aims to reduce Indonesia’s emissions by preserving some 64,000 hectares of tropical peat swamp forest. This area, rich in biodiversity including the endangered Bornean orangutan, was slated by the Provincial government to be converted into four palm oil estates. Located on the southern coast of Borneo in the province of Central Kalimantan, the project is also designed to protect the integrity of the adjacent world-renowned Tanjung Puting National Park, by creating a physical buffer zone on the full extent of the ~90km eastern border of the park.",

This forest spans over 64,000 hectares and is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including the endangered Bornean orangutan. The project was proposed to counter the Provincial government's plan of converting this area into four palm oil estates.

The tropical peat swamp forest is known to store large amounts of carbon, and the preservation of this area will help in keeping the carbon locked in the soil, thus preventing it from being released into the atmosphere. The Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project is a perfect example of how environmental conservation can go hand-in-hand with sustainable development.",
