Introducing the 2050 Materials SDK: Powerful API Access, Now Simpler Than Ever

Working with sustainability data shouldn’t require a data science degree—or a 5-person dev team just to decipher the docs.

That’s why we built the 2050 Materials SDK: a lightweight, developer-friendly toolkit that makes our powerful API accessible in just a few clicks.

We’ve seen it firsthand: integrating carbon data into your tools often means wrestling with poorly documented endpoints, inconsistent formats, and hours spent reverse-engineering what should be simple.

Our API is already one of the most robust sources of EPD and LCA data in the industry. But now, it’s also one of the easiest to use.

The 2050M SDK removes friction from the developer experience. No more guesswork—just structured access, working code snippets, and reliable results.

Think of the SDK as a query builder + code generator for our API. It guides you through everything you need to:

✅ Authenticate using your developer token

🧱 Query product EPDs or generic material factors

🎯 Filter results by material, product type, certification, geography, and more

📦 Return structured JSON data, ready for analysis or integration

🧑‍💻 Copy ready-to-run code snippets in Python or JavaScript

You get instant access to real environmental performance data—without needing to learn the ins and outs of API design.

Here’s what you can do with the SDK:

🔑 Easy Authentication

Use your developer token to get a temporary API token. The SDK shows you exactly how to format requests and headers.

🧩 Filter Builders

Build queries using dropdowns for:

• Product types
• Material types
• Compliance schemes
• Certification sources
• Countries/regions

These map directly to our API’s parameters—no need to guess the right field names.

📊 Access Two Powerful Endpoints

1. Product-level data – pull detailed, brand-specific EPDs from our structured dataset.
2. Generic factors – use statistical carbon factors for early-stage modelling when specific EPDs aren’t available.

🧬 Built-in Code Generator

Every query comes with a copy-pasteable code snippet (Python or JS) that reproduces your request—perfect for dev teams building apps, BIM extensions, or internal tools.

EPDs are rich in data—but that data is often trapped in PDFs or siloed systems. Our API unlocks that data. And now, the SDK makes using that API dramatically easier.

You can go from idea to working integration in minutes, not days.

💨 Faster prototyping for LCA tools

📐 Smarter design decisions, earlier in the process

🧠 Reproducible, standards-compliant data access

The SDK is free to use, open to all 2050M developer accounts, and built to scale with your projects.
