What is the Emidat API?
The Emidat API is designed for manufacturers integrating from ERP systems or any automated workflow. It lets you create product instances and supplier products programmatically.Preview endpoints
Some endpoints carry a Preview tag in the navigation. They are live and supported, but their contract is not frozen yet: request and response shapes, field names, and error codes may still change in ways that break existing integrations, and we may do so without a deprecation period.Key concepts
ManufacturerCreated on UI
Your Emidat tenant that owns everything below. Your API key is scoped to your tenant automatically. CompanyCreated on UI
The legal entity you operate under. One manufacturer can have multiple companies. PlantCreated on UI
One of your manufacturing sites that belongs to a company, with its own
address, energy mix, and production processes. Production ProcessCreated on UI
The manufacturing process at a plant including its inputs, outputs, energy, and
packaging. A product instance references one to describe how it is made. Product InstancesCreated via API
A product instance is a specific plant-level product with a BOM. An instance
can reference supplier products, silos and prechain products in its BOM. Prechain ProductCreated via API
An existing product instance used as an upstream (“prechain”) input at one of
your plants with an optional transport route to that plant. Supplier CompanyCreated via API
An entity that supplies you with products or raw materials. Supplier PlantsCreated via API
A supplier plant is the physical origin of a supplier product. Supplier ProductsCreated via API
Purchased inputs to your products that are sourced from supplier plants. Each
carries LCA impact data from a linked EPD or Emidat background datasets. SilosCreated via API
Optional: Group same-type supplier products at a plant into a single silo —
one supplier today, more as they are added. CompositesCreated via API
Optional: Define a reusable mix of materials by percentage at a plant. ElementaryEmidat managed
A material type from Emidat’s global catalog (e.g., cement, glass, aluminium). Emidat maintains these. Material TypeClassification
How a supplier product’s material is classified: either an Emidat elementary or one of your own
composites. Set it when you create a supplier product.
