Have you ever wondered about the carbon footprint of your API?

This week, the 27th climate summit takes place in Egypt. This inspired us to draw attention to the emissions produced by our online behaviour.

We introduced some CO2-related features to our API testing tool:

  - Calculate carbon emissions of an API call
  - Set up a check to validate that your API endpoint doesn't cross the limit when it comes to emissions
  - Test all your API endpoints and get an approximate calculation of your API emissions in total

We hope that by using these features, you will become more aware of the carbon footprint of your infrastructure and act accordingly. You could for example switch to a sustainable hosting provider.
