API Response: Map Record

A map_record is a effectively an emissions factor. It is the emissions factor information and the mapping link data combined for your App.

The map_used by your App can be found by using app_details.

The following fields are returned with a map_record.

iid

Type: Integer

Description: Unique record ID for the emission within the used map's table.

category

Type: Integer

Description: Unique ID for the topline emission category, which is also returned in the lookups. This is also level 1 for the tree structure of selecting an emission.

level_2, level_3 and level_4

Type: String

Description: These are the branches to select your emission, where category is level 1.

factor

Type: Integer

Description: Unique ID for the emission factor that is linked to this map record. For the most part this won't be of use to you, but is provided here to help ensure data consistency. When we update the mappings as new emission factors come out, these change accordingly.

co2e

Type: Float

Unit of Measure: CO2e per kilogram (kg).

Description: The emission factor for Carbon Dioxide equivalent for greenhouse gases, for this record. It is probably the most important emission factor returned. 

co2

Type: Float

Unit of Measure: CO2 per kilogram (kg).

Description: The emission factor for Carbon Dioxide emissions.

ch4

Type: Float

Unit of Measure: CH4 per kilogram (kg).

Description: The emission factor for Methane emissions.

n2o

Type: Float

Unit of Measure: N2O per kilogram (kg).

Description: The emission factor for Nitrous Oxide emissions.

unit

Type: String

Description: This is the record_value unit of measure used by records with this factor.

unit_multiplier

Type: String

Description: This is the record_value_multiplier of measure used by records with this factor.

scope

Type: Integer

Description: The emissions scope for this factor.
