Why people use Emissions API
Emissions API for Satellite-Based Gas Auditing
Emissions API replaces that tedious loop with a single conversation. You just tell your agent what you need, like the ozone levels in a specific region over the last month, and it handles the query. You get the data you need in seconds, ready for your report or your map.
What Vinkius changes
You get real-time, satellite-derived environmental data through a simple chat interface.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Emissions API.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can Emissions API track methane leaks?
Yes, it pulls methane concentration data directly from satellite measurements, allowing you to identify trends and peaks in specific regions.
Does Emissions API work for specific countries?
Yes, you can query atmospheric data for any country or specific geographic coordinates to get localized results.
Can I use the data in my maps?
Yes, the Connector can retrieve emission data in GeoJSON format, which is the standard format for most mapping and GIS software.
Is there a cost for the data?
The underlying Emissions API is a public and free service, so there are no extra costs for pulling this data through your agent.
What specific gases does it monitor?
It monitors Carbon Monoxide, Methane, Ozone, and Nitrogen Dioxide, covering the most critical markers for air quality and climate research.
How often is the data updated?
The Connector provides access to both real-time satellite readings and historical data, depending on your specific research needs.
Is an API Key required for Emissions API?
No. Emissions API is a free and open service. This server works out of the box without any static credentials required.
What gases can be audited via the agent?
You can query Carbon Monoxide (carbonmonoxide), Methane (methane), Ozone (ozone), and Nitrogen Dioxide (nitrogendioxide) using specialized capabilities.
Is the data historical or real-time?
The API provides historical measurement data collected by the Sentinel-5P satellite, typically updated daily with a short processing lag.
