Continuous API access

Two elements determine the applicable API licence: how ECO EPD data is used and the scale of access required.

1. Identify your Use Category

Your Use Category depends on how ECO EPD data is used and who can access the data or resulting functionality.

Commercial Tool Use
ECO EPD data powers functionality for external users

For commercial software tools or digital platforms that use ECO EPD data for calculations, LCA, benchmarking, reporting or other data-driven services without allowing users to download the underlying ECO EPD data.

Key rule: End users cannot download the underlying ECO EPD data.

Internal Tool Use
ECO EPD data is used within your organisation

For integrating ECO EPD data into internal systems or workflows used only within your own organisation and not made available to external users.

Key rule: Internal use only; no external access to the tool or redistribution of ECO EPD data.

Database Use
ECO EPD data itself is made accessible

For structured data services that store, index or display ECO EPD data and allow third parties to access or download the data.

Key rule: If ECO EPD data itself is made available to external users for download or reuse, Database Use applies.

The applicable Use Category is determined in accordance with the current ECO Portal Terms & Conditions.

2. Your Use Class is determined during registration

ECO Platform determines the applicable Use Class based on the information provided during registration. Your Use Class defines API capacity, administration options, support level and the applicable annual fee.

Standard
For typical API use within the defined Standard thresholds
  • 3 User API Keys
  • 1,000 requests/minute
  • 100,000 requests/day

  • 10 support hours/month included, with defined first-response times under the applicable SLA.

Start-Up eligibility
