ZeroCarbon Node.js SDK

Official Node.js/TypeScript client for ZeroCarbon.codes - India's leading Carbon Accounting & Offsetting API.

Installation

npm i zerocarbon-nodejs-sdk
# or
yarn add @zerocarbon/sdk

Quick Start

const { ZeroCarbon } = require('@zerocarbon/sdk');

// Initialize client
const client = new ZeroCarbon({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });

// Calculate flight emissions
const emissions = await client.calculate.flight({
  origin: 'DEL',
  destination: 'BOM',
  cabinClass: 'economy'
});
console.log(`Emissions: ${emissions.emissions_kg_co2e} kg CO2e`);

// Get offset recommendations
const offsets = await client.offsets.getRecommendations({
  emissionsKgCo2e: emissions.emissions_kg_co2e,
  preferredRegion: 'India'
});
console.log(`Top project: ${offsets.recommendations[0].name}`);

// Purchase and retire credits
const transaction = await client.offsets.purchase({
  projectId: offsets.recommendations[0].project_id,
  quantityKgCo2e: emissions.emissions_kg_co2e,
  retirementReason: 'Business flight offsetting'
});
console.log(`Certificate: ${transaction.certificate_url}`);

TypeScript Support

Full TypeScript support with type definitions included:

import { ZeroCarbon, FlightEmissions } from '@zerocarbon/sdk';

const client = new ZeroCarbon({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });

const emissions: FlightEmissions = await client.calculate.flight({
  origin: 'DEL',
  destination: 'BOM'
});

Features

• ✅ Calculate emissions from flights, electricity, fuel, and more
• ✅ AI-powered spend-based emission matching
• ✅ Carbon offset recommendations
• ✅ Purchase and retire carbon credits
• ✅ Generate BRSR-compliant reports
• ✅ Webhook support
• ✅ Test mode for development
• ✅ Full TypeScript support

Examples

Calculate Electricity Emissions

const emissions = await client.calculate.electricity({
  amountKwh: 1000,
  country: 'IN',
  state: 'Maharashtra'
});
// Returns: 820 kg CO2e

Smart Spend Matching

const emissions = await client.calculate.spend({
  amount: 100000,
  currency: 'INR',
  category: 'electricity',
  description: 'Monthly office electricity bill'
});
// AI automatically matches to emission factors

Generate BRSR Report

const report = await client.brsr.generateReport({
  companyId: 'comp_123',
  financialYear: '2024-25',
  format: 'pdf'
});
console.log(report.download_url);

Register Webhook

const webhook = await client.webhooks.register({
  url: 'https://your-app.com/webhooks/carbon',
  events: ['offset.completed', 'offset.failed']
});
console.log(`Webhook secret: ${webhook.secret}`);

Test Mode

Enable test mode to avoid real charges:

const client = new ZeroCarbon({
  apiKey: 'test_YOUR_API_KEY',
  testMode: true
});

Error Handling

try {
  const emissions = await client.calculate.flight({
    origin: 'DEL',
    destination: 'BOM'
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('API Error:', error.message);
}
