Where do I get a Climatiq API Key?

You can sign up for a developer account at the [**Climatiq Dashboard**](https://www.climatiq.io/dashboard) to generate your API Bearer Token. They offer a free tier for testing and small-scale usage.

Which carbon equivalents are calculated?

The API primarily returns CO2e (Carbon Dioxide Equivalent), which includes the combined global warming potential of various greenhouse gases, expressed in a single metric (usually kg or tonnes).
