Electricitymaps Contrib
This project provides a suite of interfaces and tools for accessing electricity carbon intensity and production metrics. It includes an API for real-time and historical data, a geographic power data map for visualizing regional carbon intensity and renewable energy percentages, and a system for extracting datasets required for standardized greenhouse gas emissions reporting.
The project features an interactive API sandbox that allows users to test requests and inspect data responses without writing code. It also includes mechanisms for institutional email verification to manage access to historical electricity data and geographic zone information.
Additional capabilities cover data coverage analysis to track signal availability, standardized parsing of electricity production and pricing information, and integration tools for connecting electricity data to home automation platforms.

Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
