Greenly

Greenly is a Paris-headquartered (with offices in London and New York) carbon accounting platform focused on small and mid-sized businesses, helping companies measure, reduce, and report their greenhouse-gas emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3. The platform automates carbon footprint calculations from accounting, expense, supplier, energy, and cloud data; produces regulator-aligned Bilan Carbone, GHG Protocol, CSRD, CBAM, EUDR, SBTi, CDP, TCFD/IFRS, EcoVadis, and California climate disclosure deliverables; supports product-level LCA; recommends supplier alternatives; and offers a marketplace for verified carbon-offset projects. Greenly also exposes a developer-facing Carbon Analytics REST API (v1.5, hosted at api.greenly.earth) historically built by Offspend, which banks and fintechs use to enrich bank-card transactions with per-purchase CO2 emissions, classify spend into purchase categories, surface lower-carbon alternatives, and book offset volumes against vetted projects — sandbox and production environments are available with API-key authentication on request to [email protected].

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Greenly the way a machine reads it — 32 machine-readable artifacts across 7 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Greenly scores 34.4/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 41/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Greenly

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Greenly. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 7

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Greenly alternatives API

The alternatives API from Greenly — 2 operation(s) for alternatives.

Greenly live API

The live API from Greenly — 1 operation(s) for live.

Greenly offsetProjects API

The offsetProjects API from Greenly — 3 operation(s) for offsetprojects.

Greenly purchaseCategories API

The purchaseCategories API from Greenly — 2 operation(s) for purchasecategories.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
