About this task
The Envizi Emissions API is a REST API. Use your preferred programming
language or tool that supports REST requests. You must have an internet connection to use the
API.
On the API token management page, you can see your tenant ID, authentication
client ID, and emissions client ID. When you make API calls, you use these IDs to authenticate and
to identify your tenant and application.
