Akeneo Measurement family API is one of 42 APIs that [Akeneo](https://apis.io/providers/akeneo/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Measurement family. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and a getting-started guide.

A measurement family is a set of comparable units used to measure a specific physical quantity, such as Area, Weight, or Power. For example, the "Weight" measurement family can group units like "Kilogram" and "Pound" together. Each family has a standard unit for conversions (e.g., "Kilogram"), and all other units within that family include their conversion formulas. These families are used for metric attributes, allowing product data to be entered in one unit and automatically converted for different channels or locales.
