A wholesale, programmatic source of real-time and historical grid carbon intensity (tCO₂e/MWh) for every NEM region and WA. Built for sustainability SaaS platforms that need accurate Australian Scope 2 numbers without building their own AEMO data pipeline.
Authorization: Bearer giq_... header.The carbon feed isn’t a separate subscription — it’s one endpoint of the gridIQ API, included in every tier. One Bearer key covers carbon intensity, Watt AI, market data and alerts.

}Sustainability SaaS platforms (Watershed, Persefoni, Sweep, Greenly, Plan A, etc.) typically derive Scope 2 emissions for their customers using country-level grid factors. Australian customers get a more accurate, time-matched answer when the platform consumes a live per-region feed, and Australian audit committees increasingly expect it.
Embedding gridIQ’s Carbon Intensity API gives every Australian customer of your platform an accurate, AEMO-derived intensity value without you needing to build (and maintain) the data pipeline.
Existing gridIQ API customers can use their key today. New customers: email us and we’ll provision an API key on the same day.
