How do I get an Ember Climate API key and how long does it take?

Simply visit the [Ember Climate API page](https://ember-energy.org/data/api/), enter your email address, and click to request your key. You'll receive it via email almost instantly. It only takes 30 seconds — no OAuth apps to configure, no developer portals to navigate, no complex setup.

What countries and regions are covered by the Ember electricity dataset?

The dataset covers over 200 countries and geographical regions worldwide, including individual nations, continents (like Europe), and regional aggregates (like OECD, EU-27). You can use the `get_api_options` tool to discover all available entity codes and country names before querying specific data.

Can I compare electricity generation across multiple countries in a single query?

Yes! Use the `get_generation_multi_entity` tool and provide comma-separated ISO country codes in the `entity_code` parameter (e.g., "BRA,DE,US,CHN" for Brazil, Germany, USA, and China). This is highly efficient for comparative energy analysis without making multiple separate API calls.

What energy sources can I filter by when querying electricity generation?

You can filter by all major energy sources including fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil), renewables (wind, solar, hydro, bioenergy, geothermal), nuclear, and storage. Use the `series` parameter with values like "coal", "wind", "solar", "hydro", "nuclear", "gas". Call `get_api_options` with filter_name="series" to see the complete list of available energy types for any dataset.

get_api_options

Use dataset (e.g., "electricity-generation"), temporal_resolution (e.g., "monthly", "yearly"), and filter_name (e.g., "entity", "series", "entity_code", "date", "year"). This tool is useful for discovering valid country codes, energy source types, and available date ranges before making specific data queries. Get available filter options for Ember electricity datasets

get_carbon_intensity_yearly

Use entity or entity_code to filter by country (e.g., "Brazil", "DE", "US"). Use start_date and end_date with format YYYY (e.g., "2020", "2023"). Returns emissions intensity data showing how clean or polluting the electricity grid is over time. Get yearly carbon intensity of electricity generation for countries/regions

get_electricity_demand_monthly

Use entity or entity_code to filter by country (e.g., "Brazil", "DE", "US"). Use start_date and end_date with format YYYY-MM (e.g., "2023-01", "2024-12"). Useful for analyzing seasonal demand patterns, peak consumption periods, and demand forecasting. Get monthly electricity demand data for countries/regions

get_electricity_demand_yearly
