EOS API Overview
The EOS API provides programmatic access to our environmental impact calculation engine. Built on REST principles, it offers endpoints for calculating carbon footprints, water usage, and biodiversity impact of food products and recipes. All endpoints return JSON responses and support batch processing for efficiency.
