Verbose
In the interest of transparency of our methods, data and source, all data used by the API can be described in the response to a request if the option verbose is set as true
Impacts per components
For each component evaluated in a request the manufacture impact of one component unit is returned
"impacts": {
"gwp": {
"manufacture": 24,
"use": "not implemented",
"unit": "kgCO2eq"
},
"pe": {

},
"adp": {

"unit": "kgSbeq"
}
}
Impact per usage
When the usage impacts are evaluated at component or device level, the attributes and usage impacts are returned.

Units
The number of unit per component in a device is returned.
Boattribute
For each attribute used in the evaluation process we return :
- Its value
- Its unit
- Its status :
- INPUT : the value have been given by the user
- COMPLETED : the value have set by the API according to user inputs
- DEFAULT : the default value have been set by the API
- CHANGED : the value have given by the user have been changed by the API
- ARCHETYPE : the default value have been set by the API from the archetype
- The source of data in case the data have been COMPLETED or CHANGED and sometimes when the default value come from a secondary source.
