Find carbon projects by country
You can search for carbon projects listed on Carbonmark by country.
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.
First, retrieve an array containing the countries that carbon projects originate from by calling the /Countries endpoint. Here's a sample of a request:
Request
curl --request GET \
--url https://api.carbonmark.com/countries \
--header 'Accept: application/json'You'll receive a JSON response containing an array with country ids that looks like this:
JSON Response
[
{
"id": "Brazil"
},
{
"id": "Bulgaria"
},
{
"id": "China"
},
{
"id": "Congo"
},
{
"id": "Ecuador"
},
{
"id": "India"
},
{
]From these countries, select your choice of country. Next, we'll call the /carbonProjects endpoint with our desired query parameters. The endpoint allows you to retrieve an array of carbon projects filtered by category, country, vintage, project names, and project descriptions.
In this example, we'll search for renewable energy carbon projects originating from India with a 2012 vintage. Here's the example request:
Request
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.carbonmark.com/carbonProjects?country=India&category=Renewable+Energy&vintage=2012' \
--header 'Accept: application/json'The response you may receive will contain a list of all carbon projects that match your query parameters. Below we've listed an example of two of the carbon projects from the response:

"description": "The project activity consists of the construction of small hydro project, the total installed capacity being 4.95 MW to generate clean electricity using the energy of the flowing stream. The project is a run-of- the- river type with minimum environmental impacts. The technology or electricity generation process using hydro resources is converting the potential energy available in the stream flowing from higher altitudes into mechanical energy using hydro turbines and then to electrical energy using alternators. The project activity will provide and sell electricity to the state electricity utility (Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited (UPCL)) through NEWNE grid, thus reducing dependence on fossil fuels and thereby reducing CO2 emissions. Electricity shall be evacuated through 33 KV line to the nearest 33 KV sub-station at Hanuman Chatti Sub Station.",
