# Authentication Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/authentication Secure API authentication using client secrets and JWT access tokens for organization-level access control Most API requests will need to authenticate against the Isometric API in two ways simultaneously: * By passing a **client secret** in the `X-Client-Secret` header to identify the system integrating with the API. * By passing an **access token** in the `Authorization` header to authenticate as a specific organization, in order to gain access to its private data. ### Client Authentication Every API call to Isometric must include a **client secret** identifying the client application. This client secret is tied to a particular environment - sandbox or production. The client secret should be submitted on every API request via the `X-Client-Secret` header. For example `X-Client-Secret: uPrO...wxAh`. ### Organization Authentication In addition, a large number of API requests will require an **access token** in order for the caller to identify themselves and act as a specific Organization. To authenticate as an Organization you will need to submit a JWT bearer access token via the `Authorization` header. For example: `Authorization: Bearer eyJh...sw5c`. If you are going to be acting on behalf of other Organizations, they will need to generate the access token and pass it securely to you. Access tokens should be treated as highly sensitive, kept secret and stored accordingly. Access tokens are scoped to a single Organization - so if you are acting on behalf of multiple particular organizations, you will need to submit the appropriate access token on each request. ### Managing Credentials Credentials can be managed through Certify UI in the [Settings](https://registry.isometric.com/account/settings) section. Access tokens will expire after 1 year from generation. When you are approaching expiry, a new token will need to be generated. Both client secrets and access tokens can be created and invalidated through UI. Client secrets do not expire and do not need to be rotated. If either secret becomes compromised, it should be invalidated through the UI. # API changelog Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/certify/api-changelog Welcome to the Certify API changelog. For the overall product changelog, please see [here](https://isometric.com/changelog). ## 2026 The `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_LIFETIME` `allocation_strategy` now amortizes project emissions over the project lifetime **or 20 years, whichever is shorter**. The cap is mandated by the [GHG Accounting Module](https://registry.isometric.com/module/ghg-accounting/1.1#emissions-amortization) and applies only to projects on version 1.1 or later of that module. For an affected project longer than 20 years, each GHG statement now receives a larger share of the emission than before. Attribution values returned by [`GET component`](/api-reference/certify/get-component) and [`GET ghg entry components`](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-entry-components) change accordingly. No request or response fields change. The `allocation_strategy` value `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_TONNAGE` has been renamed to `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_REMOVAL_TONNAGE` to distinguish it from the `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_REDUCTION_TONNAGE` strategy — it amortizes in proportion to the project's estimated gross **removal** (as opposed to reduction). This affects the `allocation_strategy` request field on [`POST project component`](/api-reference/certify/post-project-component) and [`PATCH component`](/api-reference/certify/patch-component), and the response field on [`GET component`](/api-reference/certify/get-component). Update any integration sending or reading `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_TONNAGE` to use `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_REMOVAL_TONNAGE`. Legacy `ProjectRequirement` (`pmr_`) IDs are no longer accepted on the monitoring requirement endpoints: [`GET project monitoring requirement`](/api-reference/certify/get-project-monitoring-requirement), [`GET monitoring submissions`](/api-reference/certify/get-monitoring-submissions), [`POST monitoring submission`](/api-reference/certify/post-monitoring-submission), and [`DELETE monitoring submission`](/api-reference/certify/delete-monitoring-submission). These endpoints now only accept `MonitoringRequirement` (`mnr_`) IDs. Provide the `mnr_` ID returned by [`GET project monitoring requirements`](/api-reference/certify/get-project-monitoring-requirements) instead. The Removal entity has been deprecated in favour of GHG Entry in order to support reporting for multiple credit types. As a result, Certify's REST API now exposes a new `ghg_entry` and `ghg_entry_template` route family across the main carbon accounting flows. This is primarily a naming update of the existing removal-named API surface, making the terminology consistent with GHG entries and GHG entry templates without substantially changing the underlying integration flow. New endpoints are now available for listing and retrieving templates, creating and managing entries, and working with entry component attribution. This includes [`GET ghg entry templates`](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-entry-templates), [`GET ghg entry template`](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-entry-template), [`GET datapoint ghg entry template components`](/api-reference/certify/get-datapoint-ghg-entry-template-components), [`GET ghg entries`](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-entries), [`GET ghg entry`](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-entry), [`POST ghg entry`](/api-reference/certify/post-ghg-entry), [`PATCH ghg entry`](/api-reference/certify/patch-ghg-entry), [`DELETE ghg entry`](/api-reference/certify/delete-ghg-entry), [`GET ghg entry components`](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-entry-components), and [`PATCH ghg entry components`](/api-reference/certify/patch-ghg-entry-components). Project-scoped attribution has also been renamed into the same model through [`POST project component ghg entry attribution`](/api-reference/certify/post-project-component-ghg-entry-attribution) and [`DELETE project component ghg entry attribution`](/api-reference/certify/delete-project-component-ghg-entry-attribution). Alongside the new route family, related resources and filters now expose GHG entry naming throughout the API. For example, templates now include `credit_type`, GHG statements expose `ghg_entry_ids`, and related resources such as component attributions, components, and biochar applications now return GHG entry-named fields to match the new endpoints. We intend to keep old endpoints functional for a transitional period of 3 months (until September 2026), after which they will be removed. We recommend that you migrate to the new endpoints as soon as possible to ensure uninterrupted functionality. A new [`DELETE measurement_samples/{id}`](/api-reference/certify/delete-measurement-sample) endpoint has been added, allowing you to delete a measurement sample by its ID. A new optional `description` field has been added to the [Source](/api-reference/certify/get-source) resource. It is returned on all endpoints that return a Source entity and can be set via [`POST source`](/api-reference/certify/post-source) or [`PATCH source`](/api-reference/certify/patch-source). `risk_of_reversal_percentage` and `credit_allocation` have been added to the [`GET removal`](/api-reference/certify/get-removal) and [`GET removals`](/api-reference/certify/get-removals) endpoints. `credit_allocation` has also been added to the [`GET ghg_statement`](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-statement) and [`GET ghg_statements`](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-statements) endpoints, summarizing the total credit allocation across all removals in the statement. `credit_allocation` contains two fields: `buffer_pool_contribution_kg` (credits contributed to the buffer pool) and `supplier_allocation_kg` (credits issued to the supplier). It is `null` if any removal's `risk_of_reversal_percentage` has not yet been set. A new `measurement_sample_id` query parameter has been added to the [`GET datapoints`](/api-reference/certify/get-datapoints) endpoint, allowing you to filter datapoints linked to a specific measurement sample. Additionally, each object in the `values` array returned by [`POST measurement_samples`](/api-reference/certify/post-measurement-samples) now includes a `datapoint_id` field. The `reporting_period_start_at` and `reporting_period_end_at` fields have been added to the [`GET ghg_statements`](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-statements) and [`GET ghg_statement`](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-statement) endpoints. These fields represent the inclusive start and end dates of the reporting period. `feedstock_type_id` has been replaced by `feedstock_batch_id` in the [`POST measurement samples`](/api-reference/certify/post-measurement-samples#body-feedstock-batch-id) endpoint. A `project_id` is now required when creating a source. It has been added to the body of the [`POST source`](/api-reference/certify/post-source) request and is returned on all endpoints that return a [Source](/api-reference/certify/get-source) entity Additionally, a new field `original_filename` has been added to `Source`. This field contains the original filename of uploaded documents. Feedstock batches can now be managed via the Certify API. See [`Feedstock batches`](/api-reference/certify/get-feedstock-batches) for details. A new field `removal_template_component_id` has been added to all endpoints that return a [Component](/api-reference/certify/get-component) or [Removal Component](/api-reference/certify/get-removal-components) entity. This helps to facilitate mapping to removal components from third-party reporting systems. ## 2025 Storage method `dac_saline_aquifer` is replaced by `saline_aquifer` as the storage method on [`POST storage location`](/api-reference/certify/post-storage-location#body-storage-method). `feedstock_type_ids` replaces `feedstock_type_id` in the [`POST production batch`](/api-reference/certify/post-production-batch) endpoint. This field allows specifying multiple feedstock types associated with a production batch. Feedstock types can now only be created via the Certify UI and not via API. A new field `uncertainty_justification` has been added to the [`POST datapoint`](/api-reference/certify/post-datapoint) and [`PATCH datapoint`](/api-reference/certify/patch-datapoint) endpoints. This field allows providing additional context or explanation regarding the uncertainty associated with a datapoint. It is only required when [sensitivity analysis](/user-guides/certify/sensitivity-analysis) identifies the datapoint as sensitive. A new endpoint for attributing components to removals has been added: [`PATCH removal components`](/api-reference/certify/patch-removal-components). This new endpoint allows attributing components fully or partially without having to create Datapoints to represent attribution. Attributing components via [`PATCH removal`](/api-reference/certify/patch-removal) `add_components` & `remove_components_ids` is now deprecated. Similarly, [`POST project component removal attribution`](/api-reference/certify/post-project-component-removal-attribution) has been updated to allow attribution with a float value. Attributing components via datapoints has been deprecated. The [`GET datapoints`](/api-reference/certify/get-datapoints) endpoint now returns a `locked_status` field indicating whether the datapoint can be patched or if it is locked due to references that render it immutable. Two new endpoints have been added:[`GET datapoint components`](/api-reference/certify/get-datapoint-components) retrieves components that use the specified datapoint, and [`GET datapoint removal template components`](/api-reference/certify/get-datapoint-removal-template-components) retrieves removal template components that use the specified datapoint. The [`GET components`](/api-reference/certify/get-components) endpoint has been expanded with new filter options, including `scope`, `ghg_statement_id`, `project_id` and `removal_id`. Additionally, the [`GET datapoints`](/api-reference/certify/get-datapoints) endpoint now supports an expanded set of filters for more granular querying of datapoints including all of the above and extending to `removal`. Measurement `location_id` no longer gets returned on datapoints, instead it is an attribute on the measurement sample resource. See [`GET measurement samples`](/api-reference/certify/get-measurement-samples). A `project_id` is now required when creating a feedstock type. It has been added to the body of the `POST /feedstock-type` request. Measurement location information is being moved from the datapoint to the measurement sample resource. It has been removed from the body of the [`POST datapoint`](/api-reference/certify/post-datapoint) request and will be removed from the body of the datapoint response at a future date. The `crediting_period_start` and `crediting_period` fields on the [`GET projects`](/api-reference/certify/get-projects) resource have been converted from datetimes to dates. Storage Locations can now specify `biomass_subsurface` as the storage method on [`POST storage location`](/api-reference/certify/post-storage-location#body-storage-method). * Endpoints for managing storage units were released in beta. See [`GET storage unit`](/api-reference/certify/get-storage-unit) for details. * Storage Locations can now also be attached to Measurement Samples on [`POST measurement samples`](/api-reference/certify/post-measurement-samples#body-storage-location-id). The [`PATCH datapoint endpoint`](/api-reference/certify/patch-datapoint) no longer requires a value for `standard_deviation`. Storage locations are now returned in the [`GET project monitoring requirements`](/api-reference/certify/get-project-monitoring-requirements) resource. In addition, they now require a `latitude` and `longitude` parameter on [`POST storage location`](/api-reference/certify/post-storage-location). Storage locations now require a `storage_method` parameter on creation. See [`POST storage location`](/api-reference/certify/post-storage-location) for details. Measurement samples can now be created and fetched via the Certify API. See [`POST measurement samples`](/api-reference/certify/post-measurement-samples) for details. LCA templates built in Certify can be now retrieved at [`GET removal templates`](/api-reference/certify/get-removal-templates). This deprecates the `Process` resource and simplifies the reuse of fixed inputs on removal templates. The `process_key` and `steps` fields are now deprecated on `POST removals` in favour of `removal_template_id` and `removal_template_components`. See [creating your first GHG entry](/api-reference/certify/your-first-ghg-entry) for details. The [`POST project component`](./post-project-component) endpoint request body now accepts two new strategies for `allocation_strategy`: `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_LIFETIME` and `CUSTOM_TIME_PERIOD`. The [`PATCH component`](./patch-component) endpoint request body now accepts two new strategies for `allocation_strategy`: `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_LIFETIME` and `CUSTOM_TIME_PERIOD`. You have a choice of an `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_TONNAGE`, `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_LIFETIME`, `CUSTOM_TIME_PERIOD` or `MANUAL` allocation\_strategy and can patch the choice in the future if any updates or changes occur. The [`POST removal`](./post-removal) endpoint now accepts a list of `label_ids` in the request body. The [`PATCH removal`](./patch-removal) endpoint now accepts a list of `label_ids` field in the request body. The [`GET removal`](./get-removal) endpoint now returns a list of `label_ids` field in the response body. Labels are currently an optional field for Removals. The [`POST project component`](./post-project-component) endpoint now accepts an `allocation_strategy` in the request body. The [`PATCH component`](./patch-component) endpoint now accepts an `allocation_strategy` field in the request body. The [`GET component`](./get-component) endpoint now returns an `allocation_strategy` field in the response body. An allocation\_strategy is currently a required field for all Project-scoped components. You have a choice of an `ESTIMATED_PROJECT_TONNAGE` or `MANUAL` allocation\_strategy and can patch the choice in the future if any updates or changes occur. ## 2024 The [`POST datapoint`](./post-datapoint) endpoint now accepts a `project_id` in the request body. The [`GET datapoint`](./get-datapoint) endpoint now returns a `project_id` field in the response body. The project\_id is currently an optional field but will become required in the future. You should therefore ensure that you migrate your code to include the project\_id in the request body. # Attribution by API Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/certify/attribution Attribution allows partial amortization of a CO₂e flux to a particular GHG entry. In many cases, attribution can be handled automatically by Certify's amortization rules, however more custom attribution strategies can be implemented using the API. Prefer the `ghg_entry*` attribution endpoints on this page. The `removal*` endpoints remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases. The user guides on [attributing components](/user-guides/certify/attribution) and [project emissions](/user-guides/certify/project-emissions) give a useful general introduction to concepts covered in the rest of this page. ## Attribution within a GHG entry To add a new project operation component with partial attribution to a GHG entry, first [create the component](/api-reference/certify/post-component) and then call the [Patch GHG Entry Components](/api-reference/certify/patch-ghg-entry-components) endpoint with a request as follows: ```json Patch GHG Entry Components theme={null} { "components_to_add": [ { "attribution_factor": 0.612, "component_group_key": "biomass-transport", "component_id": "cmp_1EP2SB7MZ1S036PY" } ] } ``` The attribution factor is a fraction and determines the proportion of the component that is attributed to the GHG entry. In the example above, 0.612 (or 61.2%) of the biomass transport component will be attributed to the GHG entry. ## GHG Statement level attribution Emissions can be [added to a GHG statement](/user-guides/certify/attribution#ghg-statement-level-attribution) if they relate to that reporting period. In the case that a statement has multiple GHG entries, the emission will be automatically split evenly across all GHG entries. The component can be created and attributed in the same request to [Post GHG Statement Component](/api-reference/certify/post-ghg-statement-component). Note that no attribution factor is needed in this case as attribution is calculated automatically. ```json Add a GHG statement level emission theme={null} { "component_data": { "activity_completed_at": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z", "activity_started_at": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z", "component_blueprint_key": "", "description": "", "display_name": "", "inputs": [ { "__typename": "CreateComponentListInput", "datapoint_ids": [ "dtp_1DVKHKS101S0Q61Q" ], "input_key": "" } ], "project_id": "prj_1CTWZQGKE1S0VAXA", "supplier_reference_id": "" }, "ghg_statement_id": "ggs_1GDQJ99Z51S0DYW9" } ``` ## Attribution of project emissions Project emissions can be automatically allocated by Certify using an [amortization rule](/user-guides/certify/project-emissions#amortization-rules). If a `Manual` amortization rule is selected, suppliers can define their own amortization strategy using API updates to amend GHG entries. Once a project emission and GHG entry have been created, the emission can be attributed by calling the [Post Project Component GHG Entry Attribution](/api-reference/certify/post-project-component-ghg-entry-attribution) endpoint: ```json Attribute project emission to GHG entry theme={null} { "attribution_factor": 0.654, "ghg_entry_id": "rmv_1EEM6NJXX1S0EXKD" } ``` The project emission component ID is specified as a path parameter in the request. ## Full attribution Components cannot be attributed beyond 100%. In the event a request is sent attempting to over-attribute a component, the API will respond with a `400` error. # Introduction Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/certify/certify-introduction This documentation covers the Certify API. For product user guides, please review the [Certify documentation](/user-guides/certify/introduction). Prefer the `ghg_entry*` and `ghg_entry_template*` endpoints for new integrations. The older `removal*` and `removal_template*` endpoints remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases. ## Get started Review key concepts used in the Certify platform Read a guide to creating GHG entries via API ## Popular actions Upload evidence for your measurement data Record a measurement input for a GHG entry Create a component for a CO₂ flux in your GHG entry Create a new GHG entry to be included in your reporting statement View a reference for all available API endpoints in the menu to the left. ## Can't find what you need?

The process below outlines how to upload a source file and attach it to a datapoint: First call the [POST Source](/api-reference/certify/post-source) endpoint to create a source reference object. In the request, make sure to: * Set the `__typename` parameter to `CreateDocumentSourceRequest` * Include the `content_length` parameter (i.e. file size in bytes): this value is checked during the file upload step * Choose a display name: this name will be shown in the registry * Provide the file name of the upload: this value will be checked in the upload step You should also decide whether the source should be publicly visible in the registry when credits are issued. Sources are hidden by default but can be made public by setting `is_public` to `true`. The response to the above request will include a `signed_upload_url` field for a Google Cloud Storage bucket. To upload the source file, make a `PUT` request to the URL as follows: ```bash curl theme={null} curl --request PUT \ --url 'https://storage.googleapis.com/...' \ --header 'Content-Type: xxx/yyy' \ --data-binary 'local/file/path' ``` If you are making the `PUT` request via an API client that implements chunked transfers, you may also need to prevent chunking by explicitly setting the `Content-Length` header in addition to the `Content-Type`. When [creating a datapoint](/api-reference/certify/post-datapoint), sources can be attached by passing the source ID (`src_xxxx`) in the `source_ids` array. ## Supported filetypes The following filetypes are currently supported as evidence sources: | File type | Extension | Content-Type header | | ---------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Plain text file | `.txt` | `text/plain` | | PDF document | `.pdf` | `application/pdf` | | MS Word OpenXML document | `.docx` | `application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document` | | MS Word document | `.doc` | `application/msword` | | JPEG image | `.jpeg`, `.jpg` | `image/jpeg` | | PNG image | `.png` | `image/png` | | HEIC image | `.heic` | `image/heic` | | CSV file | `.csv` | `text/csv` | | Parquet data file | `.parquet` | `application/vnd.apache.parquet` | | MS Excel OpenXML spreadsheet | `.xlsx` | `application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet` | | MS Excel spreadsheet | `.xls` | `application/vnd.ms-excel` | | JSON | `.json` | `application/json` | | GeoJSON | `.geojson` | `application/geo+json` | | Interactive Python notebook | `.ipynb` | `application/x-ipynb+json` | | TIFF image | `.tif`, `.tiff` | `image/tiff` | | KML file | `.kml` | `application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml` | | GeoPackage | `.gpkg` | `application/geopackage+sqlite3` | | Shapefile | `.shp` | `application/x-esri-shape` | | Shapefile index | `.shx` | `application/x-esri-shape` | | dBASE table | `.dbf` | `application/x-dbf` | | Shapefile projection | `.prj` | `application/x-esri-prj` | | Shapefile code page | `.cpg` | `application/x-esri-cpg` | # Creating your first GHG entry Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/certify/your-first-ghg-entry Once you have confirmed you can [access the API](/api-reference/introduction#request-access), have [created a project](/user-guides/certify/create-project) and [built your LCA](/user-guides/certify/lca), you can start submitting GHG entry data. Prefer the `ghg_entry*` and `ghg_entry_template*` endpoints documented below. The older `removal*` and `removal_template*` endpoints remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases while existing integrations migrate. The process of uploading GHG entry data is described in the sequence below: Sources are documents that support the data you are uploading. They are created by using the [POST source endpoint](/api-reference/certify/post-source) creating a resource in the Isometric system then [uploading the document](/api-reference/certify/uploading-sources) to the signed upload URL we return. Datapoints are values that are used in the carbon accounting calculations. They are created using the [POST datapoint endpoint](/api-reference/certify/post-datapoint). Source IDs representing the sources that support the datapoint can be passed in. Feedstock types represent a single type of feedstock used in a GHG entry. Feedstock types should be created if the GHG entry uses a feedstock that is not already in the system. New feedstocks must be added and validated in Certify. GHG entries represent a combination of activities that result in CO₂e being removed from the atmosphere or reduced relative to a baseline. A GHG entry is created from a *GHG Entry Template* using the [POST GHG entry endpoint](/api-reference/certify/post-ghg-entry). The template specifies which groups, components and fixed input datapoints the GHG entry will be created with. At this step only datapoints for [monitored inputs](/user-guides/certify/component-blueprint-library#fixed-and-monitored-inputs) need to be submitted; fixed input datapoints will be inherited from the template. GHG entry templates and their inputs are available to query through the API using the [GET GHG entry templates endpoint](/api-reference/certify/get-ghg-entry-templates). GHG entries might need to differ from your template on a case-by-case basis to match your operational activities. Individual components can be created with the [POST component endpoint](/api-reference/certify/post-component), and then attributed to the GHG entry using the [PATCH GHG entry components endpoint](/api-reference/certify/patch-ghg-entry-components). Unneeded components can also be removed from a GHG entry using the same endpoint. Components represent physical activities whose CO₂e flux needs to be accounted for. Components are created from [component blueprints](/user-guides/certify/component-blueprint-library) that define the calculations of a transfer of CO₂e into or out of the atmosphere, and all the necessary datapoint inputs required for this calculation. A GHG statement represents a set of GHG entries that will be verified together. It can be created in the Isometric system using the [POST GHG statement endpoint](/api-reference/certify/post-ghg-statement). After verification, credits will be issued for all GHG entries in a GHG statement at the same time. To prevent overlaps in reporting periods, GHG Statements in the Isometric system must be contiguous. When creating one, we will ask you to provide its end date, and the start date will be automatically inferred from the previous GHG statement if one exists, or the earliest GHG entry in the project. All GHG entries with a `completed_on` date within the GHG statement period will be included in the statement. Once you have added all the GHG entries to a GHG statement, you can submit it for verification using the [submission endpoint](/api-reference/certify/post-ghg-statement-submit). The verifier will be able to see all the resources associated with the GHG entries once it is submitted. # Introduction Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/introduction OpenAPI-based REST APIs for Isometric Certify and Registry services with authentication, endpoints, and integration examples Welcome to the documentation for the Isometric Certify and Registry API services. This reference covers what you need to know to integrate with the Certify and Registry APIs. For product user guides, please review the [Isometric Platform documentation](/user-guides/introduction). ## Our APIs Isometric's APIs are [OpenAPI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAPI_Specification)-based. This documentation covers the available API endpoints, including usage examples, and instructions around concepts such as authentication and error handling. We provide APIs for both of our products: Submit data for Isometric verification Query, deliver and retire credits Isometric does not currently publish SDKs, but we do provide OpenAPI specs for each API. You can download the specs in JSON format here: The OpenAPI files can be used to autogenerate a client library in your language of choice, import as a collection into API testing software or generate a local copy of the API documentation. ## Credentials Suppliers and MRV partners with a Certify account or buyers with a Registry account can manage API credentials via the Settings menu. Other organization types, such as market intelligence platforms, academic bodies or NGOs, may [request access to our APIs via this form](https://isometric.com/partner-with-isometric). ## Environments The Production API is hosted at: ``` https://api.isometric.com/ ``` There is also a Sandbox environment available at: ``` https://api.sandbox.isometric.com/ ``` Accounts and API credentials are independent across the two environments. Please ensure you are using the correct credentials and endpoints for the environment you are building against. ## API introduction Learn how to authenticate requests to our API services Review common standards used across our APIs ## Rate limits Our Production and Sandbox environments run on infrastructure that scales according to request load, however steep increases in request rate may trigger `429` responses. API integrations should implement exponential backoff strategies if rate limits are triggered. A conservative rate limit that should avoid triggering `429` responses is around 120 requests per minute. ## Sending your first request Once you have your API keys, you can start sending requests to the Isometric API. An example query to [get all projects](/api-reference/registry/projects) would look like this: ```bash bash theme={null} curl --request GET \ --url https://api.sandbox.isometric.com/registry/v0/projects \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \ --header 'x-client-secret: ' ``` ```python Python theme={null} import requests url = "https://api.sandbox.isometric.com/registry/v0/projects" headers = { "x-client-secret": "", "Authorization": "Bearer " } response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers) print(response.text) ``` ```js JavaScript theme={null} const options = { method: 'GET', headers: {'x-client-secret': '', Authorization: 'Bearer '} }; fetch('https://api.sandbox.isometric.com/registry/v0/projects', options) .then(response => response.json()) .then(response => console.log(response)) .catch(err => console.error(err)); ``` ```PHP PHP theme={null} "https://api.sandbox.isometric.com/registry/v0/projects", CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET", CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [ "Authorization: Bearer ", "x-client-secret: " ], ]); $response = curl_exec($curl); $err = curl_error($curl); curl_close($curl); if ($err) { echo "cURL Error #:" . $err; } else { echo $response; } ``` ```go Go theme={null} package main import ( "fmt" "net/http" "io/ioutil" ) func main() { url := "https://api.sandbox.isometric.com/registry/v0/projects" req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil) req.Header.Add("x-client-secret", "") req.Header.Add("Authorization", "Bearer ") res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req) defer res.Body.Close() body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body) fmt.Println(res) fmt.Println(string(body)) } ``` ```Java Java theme={null} HttpResponse response = Unirest.get("https://api.sandbox.isometric.com/registry/v0/projects") .header("x-client-secret", "") .header("Authorization", "Bearer ") .asString(); ``` ## Terms of usage All API users must abide by Isometric's [Terms and Conditions](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yY8SDjKOVAdI5LRKKIc0rXF0xrEcfTMv/view?usp=sharing). # API changelog Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/registry/api-changelog Welcome to the Registry API changelog. For the overall product changelog, please see [here](https://isometric.com/changelog). ## 2026 The [`GET /projects`](./projects), [`GET /projects/{id}`](./project), and [`GET /suppliers/{id}/projects`](./supplier-projects) endpoints now return a `protocol_data` object containing the protocol's `slug` and `name`, along with the `baseline_version` and `current_version` minor versions the project was validated against and currently operates under (both `null` if the project has not been validated yet). The top-level `protocol_slug` field is now deprecated in favour of `protocol_data.slug`. These endpoints also now return a `durability` field describing the durability of the carbon removal performed by the project (for example, `over_one_thousand_years`). A new [`GET /transfers`](./transfers) endpoint is now available, returning a paginated list of all transfers on Isometric's registry. Results can be filtered by `from_organisation_id` and `to_organisation_id` query parameters, and are sorted by most recently transferred first. The [`GET /issuances`](./issuance), [`GET /issuances/{id}`](./issuance), and [`GET /suppliers/{id}/issuances`](./supplier-issuances) endpoints now return the start and end date of the reporting period linked to the issuance. ## 2025 The [`POST /beneficiary`](./create-beneficiary) endpoint now accepts two models: `CreateOrganizationBeneficiary` and `CreateIndividualBeneficiary`. For the individual type, an email address can be provided in place of a domain as the unique identifier. The [`GET /projects`](./projects) and [`GET /suppliers`](./suppliers) endpoints now return additional location information: `latitude`, `longitude` and `description` fields are returned in addition to `country_code` and `country_name`. All [credit batch](./credit-batch) endpoints now return `delivery_id` and `delivered_at` information for easier tracing of credit lifecycle timelines. The [`GET /suppliers`](./suppliers) endpoint now returns `short_description` and `long_description` text fields with a text description of the supplier's activities. The [`GET /projects`](./projects) endpoint now returns `current_verifier_name` with the currently assigned verifier for a project. The `facility` field returned from the [`GET /projects`](./projects), [`GET /project/{id}`](./project), and [`GET /suppliers/{id}/projects`](./supplier-projects) endpoints has been replaced by the new `location` field. The `facility` field used to contain a `name` and a `description`, while the new `location` field contains a `country_code` and a `country_name`. The `status` field returned from the [`GET /projects`](./projects) and [`GET /project/{id}`](./project) endpoints will now return `draft` instead of `registered`. This change is to avoid ambiguity with the term 'registered' which in other registries may imply a different status. As draft projects are only visible to the project owner, this should have very small impact. # Beneficiaries Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/registry/beneficiaries get /beneficiaries A paginated list of Organisations which the currently authenticated organisation can retire credits on the behalf of, using the `POST /retirements` endpoint. # Create Beneficiary Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/registry/create-beneficiary post /beneficiary Create a new beneficiary for your organization to retire on behalf of. # Create Delivery Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/registry/create-delivery post /deliveries Create a delivery against an order. # Create Retirement Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/registry/create-retirement post /retirements Retire credits from specific batches, in whole or with splits.

Returned list of transfers will be sorted by most recently transferred first. # Standards Source: https://docs.isometric.com/api-reference/standards API versioning, pagination standards, and data format conventions including ISO 8601 dates and ISO 3166-1 country codes ## Versioning This API will be safely versioned using root path versioning, in the format `/v{major}`. For example, `/registry/v0/supplier`. ### Compatibility We won't make breaking changes to existing API services or endpoints for API versions higher than `v0`. If breaking changes are necessary, we'll release a new major version. We may deprecate APIs that have been replaced by a newer version. When doing so, we will expect integrated partners to manage a transition to new resources within the deprecation timeline of old ones. We will make the following sort of changes we do not consider to be breaking: * Adding new endpoints * Adding optional query parameters to API endpoints * Adding new properties to existing API responses * Reordering properties in existing API responses It is important that clients are built to be robust to these changes. ## Pagination Our API is based on the [Relay](https://relay.dev/docs/tutorial/connections-pagination/) pagination spec. Paginated endpoints will return a `PaginatedListResource` which contains: * `page_info` - Containing information regarding pagination cursors and the total number of entities. * `nodes` - Each node is a paginated entity. * `total_count` - The total size of the list across all pages. ### Pagination Parameters Paginated endpoints also accepted a standard set of query parameters: * `last` - An integer number of items to retrieve **before** the item represented by the cursor passed in the `before` parameter. Defaults to 10 with a maximum value of 50. * `before` - An opaque cursor representing the first item in the previously requested page to select items ordered before it. Submit the previously requested page's `start_cursor` here when paginated backwards. * `first` - An integer number of items to retrieve **after** the item represented by the cursor passed in the `after` parameter. Defaults to 10 with a maximum value of 50. * `after` - An opaque cursor representing the last item in the previously requested page to select items ordered after it. Submit the previously requested page's `end_cursor` here when paginated forwards. For example, querying `/registry/v0/beneficiaries` will return a `PaginatedListResource` of the first page of 10 items: ```json theme={null} { "page_info": { "has_previous_page": false, "start_cursor": ..., "has_next_page": true, "end_cursor": "mpG5kcuoFBYtlH", }, "nodes": [{ "id": "org_12345iso678", "name": "My Org", ... }], "total_count": 100 } ``` Then querying `/registry/v0/beneficiaries?first=15&after=mpG5kcuoFBYtlH` will return a `PaginatedListResource` of the next 15 items. ## Dates Datetime fields in the APIs conform to the [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) date and time format in UTC. For example: `2024-01-22T11:56:48.520641Z`. ## Country Codes Countries are identified in the APIs via [ISO 3166-1 Alpha-3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3) codes. For example: `GBR` and `USA`. # Isometric Documentation Source: https://docs.isometric.com/getting-started/index

# Account roles Source: https://docs.isometric.com/user-guides/account-roles The four roles you can assign to a member of your Isometric organization, what each role can do across Certify and the Registry, and how to give a Custom access user access to individual projects Each member of your organization has a role. The role is set when the user account is created, and can be edited at any time. See [User management](/user-guides/user-management). ## Roles Users may be assigned one of four main roles: | Role | What the role covers | | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Admin** | Can view and edit all projects, and edit settings | | **Editor** | Can view and edit all projects | | **Viewer** | Can only view all projects (Verifier organizations: can also manage issues) | | **Custom access** | Can only view or edit explicitly assigned projects | A user who does not belong to an organization shows as **Individual**. ## Permissions ### Admin Only an Admin may: * Add, edit and remove users, and change the role of another user. * Assign project access to a Custom access user. * Deliver, retire and transfer credits on the [Registry](/user-guides/registry/deliver-credits). * Create custom credit accounts and add beneficiaries. * Submit orders and create order delivery schedules. * Manage issuance forecasts. * Create and invalidate API access tokens and client secrets. * Change the setting that lets new users with your email domain join the organization automatically. ### Editor An Editor can create and change project data in Certify for every project in the organization. This covers the [PDD](/user-guides/certify/project-design), the [LCA](/user-guides/certify/lca), the [GHG statement](/user-guides/certify/ghg-statement) and the datapoints behind them. An Editor cannot manage the team, and cannot perform any Registry action in the Admin list above. ### Viewer A Viewer can read every project in the organization, but cannot change project data. For Verifier organizations, a Viewer can also raise and manage issues in the [log of issues](/user-guides/certify/log-of-issues). This includes editing, publishing and deleting an issue, and setting the supplier's responsible user. ### Custom access A user with custom access sees only the projects they are assigned to. Use this role for a contractor, a consultant, or an employee who should not see your whole portfolio by default. See [Project-level access](#project-level-access) below. ## Project-level access Alongside the organization role, each user holds a role on each individual project. For an Admin, an Editor or a Viewer, the project role follows automatically from the organization role. The user is added to every project in the organization, including any project created later. You do not need to assign anything. A user with custom access is not added to any project by default. Access is granted on a per-project basis. On the [User management page](https://registry.isometric.com/account/settings/users), click on the user's row to open the Edit dialog. In the Edit dialog, change the **Role** dropdown to **Custom access**. The **Project access** table appears below. It lists the projects in your organization. Select **Editor** or **Viewer** against a project. A verifier organization selects **Verifier** instead — this gives the user read access to submitted project data and lets them raise and manage issues in the [log of issues](/user-guides/certify/log-of-issues). Leave a project as **No access** to keep it hidden from the user. Click **Save**. You can return and change any project role later. ## Summary * Give **Admin** to the people who manage the team, hold the API credentials, and deliver credits. * Give **Editor** to the people who write and submit project documentation. * Give **Viewer** to the people who need to follow progress but should not change data. * Give **Custom access** to anyone who should see one project rather than your whole portfolio. If you are not sure which role a person needs, start with the narrower role. An Admin can widen it at any time. # MCP server Source: https://docs.isometric.com/user-guides/ai/mcp-server Let your AI assistant answer questions about Isometric's protocols and your own data, and take action in Certify and Registry on your behalf ## Capabilities Isometric's remote MCP server, available at `https://api.isometric.com/mcp`, connects your AI assistant to the Isometric platform, so it can do real work for you there. It is available to suppliers, verifiers and partners with a user account on Certify or Registry. With the server connected, your assistant can: * **Read the Isometric Standard and every protocol**, at any version, and answer precise questions about their requirements, citing the protocol text. * **Read the data you have access to** in Certify and Registry: your projects, issues, credits, documents and everything else the platform shows you. * **Browse Isometric's documentation**: the Certify and Registry user guides and the full API reference, including the OpenAPI descriptions of the REST APIs. * **Follow Isometric's skills**: step-by-step guides for common workflows. * **Act on your own work** where the platform allows it, such as commenting on an issue or updating a project you manage. * **Send feedback** about the server directly to the Isometric team. Everything the assistant does is recorded as you, with exactly the permissions you have on the platform: your organisation's data, data explicitly shared with you (for example as a verifier) and public registry data. Most tools are read-only. The tools that change data are clearly annotated and limited to fixed, narrowly scoped operations. You can review and revoke authorised AI clients at any time under [Settings → AI Integrations](https://registry.isometric.com/account/settings/ai). Some prompts to try once connected: ``` What Isometric-specific capabilities do you have? ``` ``` How does attribution of emissions work in Certify? ``` ``` What are the key differences between Biochar v1.1 and v1.2 protocols? ``` ``` List the projects I have access to with their status and protocol. ``` ## Connecting ### Official integrations #### Claude Open [Settings → Customize → Connectors](https://claude.ai/new#settings/customize-connectors) on Claude.ai or in Claude Desktop. Click **Add → Browse connectors** and find **Isometric** in the connector directory. Click **Connect**. If you are not already logged into Isometric in your browser, you will be prompted to log in first. You will then be shown a consent screen to allow the MCP connection. Click **Allow** to complete the connection. If you are on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, the connector may first need to be enabled for your organization. Organization owners can manage connectors at [Organization settings → Connectors](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/connectors). #### ChatGPT Isometric's official ChatGPT plugin is coming soon. In the meantime, enable [developer mode](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/developer-mode) in ChatGPT, then go to [Plugins → New plugin](https://chatgpt.com/plugins#settings/Connectors?create-connector=true) and use the configuration for [Other clients](#other-clients). ### Other clients #### Server URLs The production server, connected to live Certify and Registry data, is at: ``` https://api.isometric.com/mcp ``` The sandbox server, connected to the sandbox environment's data, is at: ``` https://api.sandbox.isometric.com/mcp ``` Both require a user account on the corresponding environment. #### Read-only access If you want an assistant to answer questions without ever changing anything, send either server the following header with each request: ``` X-Isometric-Read-Only: true ``` The server then hides every tool that changes data. This is a convenience for clients that want to limit themselves, not a permission setting. It does not restrict what you or your team can do elsewhere on the platform. #### Connection requirements Any MCP client can connect to the Isometric MCP server if it supports the following features: * [Streamable HTTP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic/transports/streamable-http) transport * [OAuth Authorization](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic/authorization) * One of two supported client registration mechanisms: * [Client ID Metadata Document](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic/authorization/client-registration#client-id-metadata-documents): this is the preferred mechanism for the connector, or * [Pre-registration](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic/authorization/client-registration#pre-registration): this method requires creation of a client ID. Isometric will accept any arbitrary client ID and no secret is required. The domains for the URI to which users are redirected after authorizing and for the CIMD client ID (if present) must also be allowlisted by Isometric. If connecting to the server fails with a `Failed to fetch CIMD document` or `Failed to verify TLS certificate of CIMD/redirect URI` error, but your client works correctly with other MCP servers, please contact Isometric at [support@isometric.com](mailto:support@isometric.com) to request domain approval. If your client prefers the Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) method and fails because it does not discover support for it, you may need to configure a client ID, as with the preregistration method above. For example, [Google Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/tools/mcp-server.md) requires this approach as of May 2026. #### Pre-approved clients The clients below support MCP server connections and have been pre-approved by Isometric for authentication. Setup instructions are available from the link on each provider. * Google Gemini: [CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/tools/mcp-server.md), [Code Assist](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/codeassist/use-agentic-chat-pair-programmer#configure-mcp-servers) * [Microsoft VS Code with Copilot](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/customization/mcp-servers) * [Cursor](https://cursor.com/docs/mcp) * Mistral: [Vibe](https://docs.mistral.ai/vibe/work/connectors/mcp-connectors), [Studio](https://docs.mistral.ai/studio/connectors/management) ## Usage tips ### Learning to work with AI If you are unfamiliar with AI assistants, reading educational guides on working with these tools, such as Anthropic's free [AI Fluency](https://academy.claude.com/courses/ai-fluency-framework-foundations) course are a good starting point. Assistants can also help guide you on how to get the most out of them: asking them how to work with them effectively as an initial prompt can be a helpful place to begin. ### Controlling actions that change data Every operation that changes data is exposed as a separate MCP tool. This gives you granular control over actions that could be dangerous. Many AI assistants will ask users for confirmation before running an unfamiliar tool, but can also let them skip that with a per tool configuration such as "always allow". For example, on Claude Team and Enterprise plans, organization owners can decide per tool whether users may choose "always allow" at [Organization settings → Connectors](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/connectors). To completely disable all tools with the ability to change data, use the [read-only header](#read-only-access). ### Base prompt or skill Using a base prompt or skill can help ensure more reliable behavior from an AI assistant. For chats using the Isometric MCP server, consider using the following base prompt or skill, or a similar version: ```markdown theme={null} # If you need information about Isometric If you need authoritative information about the Isometric platform to answer my question or solve a task I have for you, you MUST follow the rules set out below. ## Permitted information sources You MUST use the Isometric MCP server to answer any users questions about the Isometric platform. You MUST NOT use the Internet or other sources. The ONLY permitted information source is Isometric's official MCP server. ## Answering users' questions Before answering the question, use the `how_to` tool to more effectively use the capabilities provided by the server. When answering the question, you MUST state the source of your answer. For example, an Isometric protocol, module or official documentation. ## Error conditions If the official Isometric MCP server is not available to you, you MUST state to the user that the integration is broken and an IT administrator must review it. If the server is available, but it doesn't provide information that the user asks about, you MUST tell the user that this capability is missing from the Isometric MCP server. You MUST suggest sharing feedback with Isometric to add/amend it. When you encounter ANY issues with MCP server tools (incorrect URLs, unexpected responses, errors, data inconsistencies), you MUST report them to the Isometric team using the `submit_feedback` tool. ``` # Add feedstocks Source: https://docs.isometric.com/user-guides/certify/add-feedstock How suppliers can add feedstocks and submit them for third-party validation directly in the platform for BiCRS and Enhanced Weathering projects Suppliers can add feedstocks and submit them for third-party validation directly in the platform. Feedstock addition is currently supported for: * **BiCRS projects** using the [Biomass Feedstock Accounting module](https://registry.isometric.com/module/biomass-feedstock-accounting/1.2) * **Enhanced Weathering projects** using the [Rock and Mineral Feedstock Characterization module](https://registry.isometric.com/module/rock-and-mineral-feedstock-characterization/1.0) To add your feedstock, navigate to the [Certify dashboard](https://registry.isometric.com/account/certify) and select the project you want the feedstock to be validated for. Select the feedstock tab on the left-hand side and click **Add feedstock**. Give your feedstock a name, which will be publicly visible on the Registry, and choose a reference ID, which is for your internal use only. When creating a BiCRS feedstock, you will have to select eligibility criteria (ECs) relevant to your feedstock. ECs are laid out in the feedstock module for your protocol. We recommend using the eligibility criteria questions to identify which ECs apply to your feedstock. Depending on the criteria you have selected, you will be required to upload specific supporting evidence that will be used as part of the validation. For each new feedstock, you will be required to provide a feedstock appendix that will be added to your PDD. This will be surfaced as a requirement on this page. For Enhanced Weathering projects, you will need to upload feedstock sample data. 1. In the **Samples** tab, download the CSV template, specifying which measurement properties are required, conditionally required and optional to supply. 2. Populate the template with your sample data and export it as a CSV. You can download the data example to see what this data might look like. 3. Click **Add samples**, select your file, and click **Submit**. Uploaded samples will be displayed in a table, where you can inspect individual datapoints by clicking into each row. You only have to submit required fields, including `supplier_reference_id`, `feedstock_type_id` (assigned by Isometric in the format `ftt_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX`) and `measurement_date`. After uploading your supporting evidence, you can submit it for review. Isometric will review your submission and, once confirmed, send it to the verifier for validation. The feedstock will be reviewed either during project validation, or in the next verification cycle. ## Product walkthrough
