Make does not maintain or support this integration. For assistance, please https\://f.make.com/r/reachout?app\_name=Carbon%20Intensity\&app\_slug=carbon-intensity-community\&app\_unique\_id=carbon-intensity-mlsnec. # Requirements To use the Carbon Intensity app in Make, you must have an active account, either free (Starter) or paid (Advanced), to use the api, [create your account on Carbon Intensity.](https://carbonintensity.org.uk/) # App installation :::hint{type="info"} To install this app, you need Admin, Owner, or App Developer permissions. [Learn more about organization roles.](docId:-FOYcASPYP9uYKGm7LQPB) ::: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Go to the [Make integration page](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/carbon-intensity-community/). ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click the **Install** button. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem **Follow** the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. ::: :::: # Connect Carbon Intensity and Make To get started, you must first create a connection between Carbon Intensity and Make, allowing the two services to communicate. You can connect using the following method: No Authentication. ## No Authentication Instructions No credentials are required to access this API. ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem No authentication credentials need to be retrieved for this API. ::: :::: :::hint{type="info"} Some community developers require an additional specific **API Key**. Retrieve the required **API key **from the community developer's dashboard, generally found under **Settings/API. **For more info, please https\://f.make.com/r/reachout?app\_name=Carbon%20Intensity\&app\_slug=carbon-intensity-community\&app\_unique\_id=carbon-intensity-mlsnec. ::: ## Create the connection in Make :::::WorkflowBlock ::::WorkflowBlockItem [[Log in in your Make](https://www.make.com/en/register) account](https://www.make.com/en/register), add the Carbon Intensity module to your scenario, and click **Create a connection. ** :::hint{type="info"} If you add a module with an instant tag, click **Create a webhook**, then **Create a connection.** ::: :::: :::WorkflowBlockItem *Optional: *in the **Connection name** field, enter a name for the connection. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Enter the **authentication credentials** you copied from your Carbon Intensity or follow the on-screen instructions to create the connection. You must also enter any required third-party API keys obtained earlier. ::: ::::: For detailed information on connecting an application, see **[Connect an application](docId\:SO88FM6pkT0G-adKDDfzZ)** page. # Carbon Intensity modules After connecting to the Carbon Intensity app, you can choose from a list of available modules to build your scenarios. :::ExpandableHeading ### Get Carbon Intensity from Location with Start Date Retrieve detailed carbon intensity information for different regions across Great Britain, helping you monitor and analyze regional energy emissions. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Get Carbon Intensity with Start Date Retrieve detailed information on carbon intensity levels, helping you monitor and analyze the amount of carbon emissions produced over a specific period or in a particular location. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Get Data by Country Retrieve data specific to a selected region. This module allows you to access information that is tailored to the particular area you choose. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Get Generation Mix Retrieve the Generation Mix data, showing the breakdown of energy sources used to generate electricity. You can choose to get this information from the past 24 hours or specify a custom date range to see the mix during that period. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Get Statics Between Two Dates Retrieve detailed Carbon Intensity statistics for a specified time period by entering your desired start and end dates. This module provides comprehensive data on carbon intensity levels within the selected timeframe. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Make an API Call Send a custom API request to connect with an external service, allowing you to interact with specific endpoints and perform actions that may not be covered by the standard modules. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Search a Location by Postcode Finds a specific location by searching with a postcode, helping you quickly retrieve location details based on the postal code you provide. ::: # Templates You can look for more templates in [Make's template gallery](https://www.make.com/en/templates), where you'll find thousands of pre-created scenarios. # Carbon Intensity resources You can have access to more resources related to this app on the following links : - [Carbon Intensity topics on Make community](https://community.make.com/search?q=Carbon%20Intensity) - [Carbon Intensity website](https://carbonintensity.org.uk/) - [Carbon Intensity documentation](https://apps.blueprecision.co.uk/products/carbon-intensity/) - [Carbon Intensity API documentation](https://www.make.com/en/hq/app-invitation/de4a055b3cdc659cd465c6e6af105d23) - [Carbon Intensity page on make](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/carbon-intensity-community) *** :::CtaButton{label="Get started for free" externalHref="https://www.make.com/en/register" openInNewTab="true"} :::
