Method: flights.computeFlightEmissions

Stateless method to retrieve emission estimates. Details on how emission estimates are computed: https://github.com/google/travel-impact-model

The response will contain all entries that match the input flight legs, in the same order. If there are no estimates available for a certain flight leg, the response will return the flight leg object with empty emission fields. The request will still be considered successful. Reasons for missing emission estimates include:

  • The flight is unknown to the server.
  • The input flight leg is missing one or more identifiers.
  • The flight date is in the past.
  • The aircraft type is not supported by the model.
  • Missing seat configuration.

The request can contain up to 1000 flight legs. If the request has more than 1000 direct flights, if will fail with an INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

HTTP request

    }
  ]
}
Fields
flights[]

object (Flight)

Required. Direct flights to return emission estimates for.

    object (ModelVersion)
  }
}
Fields

Flight

All details related to a single request item for a direct flight emission estimates.

{
  "origin": string,
  "destination": string,
  "operatingCarrierCode": string,
  "flightNumber": integer,
  "departureDate": {
    object (Date)
  }
}
Fields
origin

string

Required. IATA airport code for flight origin, e.g. "LHR".
destination

string

Required. IATA airport code for flight destination, e.g. "JFK".
operatingCarrierCode

string

Required. IATA carrier code, e.g. "AA".
flightNumber

integer

Required. Flight number, e.g. 324.
departureDate

object (Date)

Required. Date of the flight in the time zone of the origin airport. Must be a date in the present or future.

Date

Represents a whole or partial calendar date, such as a birthday. The time of day and time zone are either specified elsewhere or are insignificant. The date is relative to the Gregorian Calendar. This can represent one of the following:

  • A full date, with non-zero year, month, and day values.
  • A month and day, with a zero year (for example, an anniversary).
  • A year on its own, with a zero month and a zero day.
  • A year and month, with a zero day (for example, a credit card expiration date).

month

integer

Month of a year. Must be from 1 to 12, or 0 to specify a year without a month and day.
day

JSON representation 
{
  "major": integer,
  "minor": integer,
  "patch": integer,
  "dated": string
}
Fields
major

integer

Major versions: Major changes to methodology (e.g. adding new data sources to the model that lead to major output changes). Such changes will be infrequent and announced well in advance. Might involve API version changes, which will respect guidelines in https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/openapi/versioning-an-api#backwards-incompatible
minor

integer

Minor versions: Changes to the model that, while being consistent across schema versions, change the model parameters or implementation.
patch

integer

Patch versions: Implementation changes meant to address bugs or inaccuracies in the model implementation.
dated

string

Dated versions: Model datasets are recreated with refreshed input data but no change to the algorithms regularly.
