Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Ducky Data V3 - climate data APIs, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fducky.eco%2Fducky" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fducky.eco%2Fducky" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Ducky Data V3 - climate data APIs.
Convert financial transactions, energy, food, and transport to kgCO2e via the /convert endpoints
Calculate an individual's annual footprint by category via POST /calculator
Generate behavioural sustainability tips via POST /change
Compare a footprint against area averages via the /compare endpoints
GET STARTED
Compute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions via /report/scope-1 and /report/scope-2
Translate kgCO2e into car distance, plane distance, energy use, or tree absorption via /translate endpoints
Read sustainability indicators for an administrative area via POST /track/transport
Patterns agents use Ducky Data V3 - climate data APIs for, with concrete tasks.
★ Carbon Footprint Calculator in a Banking App
Estimate the climate impact of customer transactions inside a banking or expense app. POST /convert/finance accepts a monetary amount and category and returns kgCO2e, which the agent surfaces beside each transaction. Pair with /translate/tree or /translate/plane to render the impact in tangible units the customer understands.
POST /convert/finance with amount=120 and category='groceries', then POST /translate/tree with the returned kgCO2e to render 'equivalent to X trees per year'
Annual Personal Footprint Calculator
Compute a complete annual footprint for an individual based on home energy, transport, food, and consumption habits. POST /calculator returns the breakdown by category, which an agent can present back as a sustainability dashboard. POST /change then suggests tailored actions, and POST /compare/general puts the result in context against an area average.
POST /calculator with the user's habits, then POST /compare/general for the area average, then POST /change to fetch personalised tips
Corporate GHG Reporting (Scope 1 and 2)
Compute the Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions a company must report under the GHG Protocol. POST /report/scope-1 takes direct emissions inputs such as fuel use, and POST /report/scope-2 takes purchased electricity and heat. Agents can wire these into accounting or ESG tooling so the calculation runs from the same data feeds that drive financial reporting.
POST /report/scope-2 with annual purchased electricity in kWh and the country code, then write the kgCO2e output into the ESG dashboard
Agent-Driven Sustainability Insights via Jentic
Wire Ducky Data into agent workflows that score, compare, and translate emissions. Through Jentic the agent searches by intent, loads the schema for the right /convert or /translate endpoint, and executes - the access_token stays in your Jentic One instance, not the agent's prompt context.
Search Jentic for 'convert energy use to kgCO2e', load the schema for POST /convert/energy, and execute with the kWh value supplied by the parent workflow
22 endpoints — ducky data is a climate footprint api that calculates, compares, converts, and translates co2-equivalent emissions for individuals, products, and administrative areas.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Ducky API by hand means obtaining an Auth0 access token from your client id and secret and passing it as a bearer token on every request. Through Jentic you install once, import Ducky from the API Directory, store the credentials once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Ducky takes the inputs for each calculation in the request body, so you limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as converting energy use to emissions or computing a Scope 2 report. You choose which operations are allowed, so other calculators are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Ducky client id and secret are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and exchanged for a bearer access token at execution time. Neither the secret nor the token enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'convert energy use to kgCO2e' or 'compute Scope 2 emissions', and Jentic returns the matching Ducky operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Ducky Data V3 - climate data APIs through Jentic.
What authentication does the Ducky Data API use?
Ducky Data uses an Auth0-issued access_token sent as an Authorization header. Customers email Ducky for a CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET, then negotiate the token with Auth0. Through Jentic the credentials are stored in the encrypted vault and the token is injected at execution, so secrets never enter the agent's prompt.
Can I calculate Scope 2 emissions with the Ducky Data API?
Yes. POST /report/scope-2 accepts purchased electricity and heat inputs and returns kgCO2e under the GHG Protocol. POST /report/scope-1 covers direct emissions like fuel combustion.
How do I convert a transaction amount to CO2-equivalent through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'convert finance transaction to CO2', load the schema for POST /convert/finance, and execute with the amount and category. Install with pip install jentic.
What are the rate limits for the Ducky Data API?
The OpenAPI spec does not declare rate limits. Ducky sets quotas per contract; have your agent handle 429 responses with exponential backoff and confirm the active limits with Ducky support.
Can I show users their footprint in relatable units?
Yes. The /translate endpoints convert kgCO2e into car distance (/translate/car), plane distance (/translate/plane), energy use (/translate/energy), or trees needed to absorb it (/translate/tree).
Does Ducky Data return tips to reduce a footprint?
Yes. POST /change accepts the user's habits and returns climate-friendly tips, which agents can use to nudge users toward lower-impact behaviour.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Ducky Data API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you decide which Ducky operations your agent may call and which credentials it may use, so you can allow just the endpoints a task needs, such as POST /convert/energy to convert kWh to kgCO2e or POST /report/scope-2 to compute a Scope 2 report. Every Ducky calculation takes its inputs in the request body, so an allowed operation only runs on the data you pass it. Other calculators, like /calculator or the /translate endpoints, stay out of reach unless you add them to the agent's allowed set.

For Agents
Convert energy use, transactions, food, and transport into CO2-equivalents and translate emissions into relatable units like trees or flight distance through Ducky Data.
Use for: I need to estimate the CO2 footprint of a financial transaction, Convert kWh of energy use into kgCO2e, Calculate the annual footprint of a household based on their habits, Compare a user's footprint against their municipality's average
Not supported: Does not handle carbon offset purchase, environmental compliance filing, or real-time emission monitoring - use for footprint calculation, comparison, conversion, and translation only.
Ducky Data is a climate footprint API that calculates, compares, converts, and translates CO2-equivalent emissions for individuals, products, and administrative areas. The API exposes 22 endpoints grouped by function: Calculate (annual or category footprint), Change (sustainability tips), Compare (area averages), Convert (energy, finance, food, goods, transport to kgCO2e), Reporting (GHG Scope 1 and 2), Track (area indicators), and Translate (kgCO2e to relatable units like flights or trees). Authentication uses an Auth0-issued access_token sent as an Authorization header.
