  description: The Electricity Maps API serves electricity grid carbon intensity and power production/consumption breakdown data for 200+ zones worldwide, in real time, as 24-hour history, and as 24-72 hour forecasts. It is the same data behind the live map at app.electricitymap.org. All data endpoints require an API key passed in the auth-token header; the zones and health endpoints can be called without a key.
