get_upload
Use the upload_id from list_uploads to inspect details
before adding data or submitting for validation.
Get details of a specific data upload
list_inventories
An inventory represents your organization's carbon footprint measurement for a specific year,
containing Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (energy), and Scope 3 (value chain) emissions data.
Each inventory has a year, status, and total emissions calculated from submitted activity data.
List all GHG inventories in your Watershed organization
list_reduction_targets
Reduction targets define your organization's goals for decreasing emissions over time,
often aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or net-zero commitments.
Each target includes baseline year, target year, reduction percentage, and progress tracking.
List all emissions reduction targets configured in your organization
list_reports
Reports are formatted outputs of your climate data for disclosure, analysis, or internal review.
Reports can include CDP disclosures, TCFD reports, or custom carbon footprint summaries.
Each report has metadata about its type, generation date, and scope.
List all available reports in your Watershed organization
list_upload_data_records
Each record contains the activity data that will be processed into emissions measurements.
Use this to review the data before validating and submitting the upload.
List all data records in a specific upload
update_upload_data_record
Use this to correct errors
or modify activity data before validation and submission.
The record_id is obtained from list_upload_data_records. The body should contain the complete
updated record object with all required fields.
Update a specific data record in an upload
upload_data_records
Each record represents an activity
that generates emissions (e.g., electricity consumption, business travel, shipping).
Records should follow Watershed's data format with fields like: activity_type, quantity, unit,
start_date, end_date, location, etc.
You can upload a single record or multiple records in a batch by providing an array of objects.
Example record: { "activity_type": "electricity", "quantity": 1500, "unit": "kWh", "start_date": "2024-01-01", "end_date": "2024-01-31" }
Upload activity data records to an existing upload container
get_inventory
Use the inventory_id from list_inventories to inspect detailed carbon footprint results
and understand your organization's emissions composition.
Get detailed information about a specific GHG inventory
create_upload
An upload is required before you can add data records to Watershed.
After creating an upload, you add data records to it, validate the data, and then submit it for processing.
The upload acts as a batch grouping mechanism for related activity data.
You can optionally provide a name and description to identify the upload purpose.
Create a new data upload container in Watershed
delete_upload_data_record
Use this to remove
incorrect or unwanted data before validating and submitting the upload.
This action cannot be undone. The record_id is obtained from list_upload_data_records.
Delete a specific data record from an upload
get_report
Use the report_id from list_reports to access the full report details including
generated files, disclosure frameworks covered, and emissions data summarized.
Reports are typically generated after inventories are complete and validated.
Get detailed information about a specific report
get_task_status
When you submit an upload for processing, a task is created and returns a task_id.
Use this tool to check if the processing is complete, still in progress, or failed.
Task status is useful for monitoring large data submissions that may take time to process.
Check status of a processing task (e.g., upload submission)
list_measurements
Measurements represent the actual carbon footprint values derived from your uploaded activity data.
You can filter by inventory_id to see measurements for a specific year's inventory,
or by year to see measurements across all inventories for that year.
Each measurement includes the activity type, emission factor used, and calculated CO2e value.
List emissions measurements with optional filters
list_uploads
Uploads are containers for activity data that will be validated and processed into emissions measurements.
Each upload can contain multiple data records representing activities like electricity usage, flights, or shipping.
Use this to see all existing uploads and their IDs before adding data or submitting for processing.
List all data uploads in your Watershed organization
submit_upload
This triggers Watershed's calculation
engine to convert activity data into emissions measurements using appropriate emission factors.
The upload must be validated successfully before submission.
The response includes a task_id that can be used to track processing status via get_task_status.
Processing may take some time depending on data volume.
Submit a validated upload for emissions processing
validate_upload
Validation ensures data quality and prevents rejection during the submission phase.
The response includes validation results with any errors or warnings that need to be addressed.
Always validate before submitting to ensure successful processing.
Validate data in an upload before submission

List all our GHG inventories and show me the total emissions for 2024.
I've found your GHG inventories. You have 2 inventories: 'FY2024 Global Operations' (Inventory ID: inv_2024_global) with total emissions of 12,450 tCO2e (Scope 1: 2,100, Scope 2: 3,850, Scope 3: 6,500) and 'FY2023 Global Operations' with 14,200 tCO2e. Your 2024 footprint shows a 12.3% reduction from 2023. Would you like a detailed breakdown by scope or emission source?
Create a new upload called 'Q1 2024 Electricity Data', add these 3 records: electricity usage for NYC office (50,000 kWh), London office (35,000 kWh), and São Paulo office (28,000 kWh) for January 2024, then validate and submit it.
I've completed the full data upload workflow:
1. Created upload 'Q1 2024 Electricity Data' (Upload ID: upl_q1_2024_elec)
2. Added 3 electricity records (NYC: 50,000 kWh, London: 35,000 kWh, São Paulo: 28,000 kWh)
3. Validated the upload — all records passed validation with no errors
4. Submitted for processing (Task ID: task_abc123)
The task is currently processing. I can monitor the status for you. Would you like me to check the task status in a moment?
Show me our reduction targets and current progress toward our net-zero goal.
Here are your organization's reduction targets:
1. **SBTi 2030 Target** — Reduce absolute Scope 1+2 emissions by 50% by 2030 (baseline: 2019). Current progress: 28% reduction achieved.
2. **Net-Zero 2040 Target** — Achieve net-zero across all scopes by 2040. Current progress: 35% reduction from 2019 baseline.
3. **Scope 3 Target** — Reduce Scope 3 emissions intensity by 30% per unit of revenue by 2030. Current progress: 18% reduction.
You're on track for the 2030 SBTi target at current reduction rate. Would you like a detailed emissions trend analysis?
The complete workflow is: (1) Use `create_upload` to create an upload container, (2) Use `upload_data_records` to add your activity data records (electricity, flights, shipping, etc.), (3) Use `validate_upload` to check data quality and fix any errors, (4) Use `submit_upload` to send data for emissions calculation, (5) Use `get_task_status` with the returned task_id to monitor processing. Once complete, your measurements appear in the inventory.
Yes! Use `list_inventories` to find your organization's GHG inventories by year. Then use `get_inventory` with the specific inventory_id to see the complete emissions breakdown by Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (energy), and Scope 3 (value chain). You can also use `list_measurements` with the year filter to see individual measurement details across all inventories.
Log in to your Watershed dashboard at dashboard.watershedclimate.com, navigate to **Organization Settings** in the left menu, then go to the **API** section. Click to generate a new API key. Copy and save this key immediately — it won't be shown again. The key typically starts with `wh_`. Keep it secure as it provides full access to your organization's climate data.
Watershed accepts a wide range of activity data including: electricity and energy consumption (kWh, therms), business travel (flights, hotels, rental cars), employee commuting, freight and shipping (ton-miles, kg-km), waste generated, water usage, and purchased goods/services. Each record needs fields like activity_type, quantity, unit, start_date, end_date, and optionally location and spend_amount for accurate emissions calculation.
