  Patch is an API-first climate platform that helps companies procure carbon
  credits and removals, run climate strategy programs, and embed climate action
  into their own products. The core Patch API exposes carbon projects,
  estimates, and orders so developers can build offset purchase flows directly
  into checkouts, accounting systems, and ESG products. Patch also runs Radius
  (network-based impact acceleration), Offtake (climate tech funding and
  long-term credit access), and an RFP tool for carbon credit procurement.
  Official SDKs are available for Node.js, Python, Ruby, and other languages, and
  the API is documented with an OpenAPI 3 spec and Swagger UI.

    description: |
      The Patch API lets developers browse carbon projects, generate emissions
      estimates, and place orders for verified carbon credits and removals. It
      is delivered as a REST/JSON API documented with OpenAPI 3, with official
      client libraries in multiple languages. The API is used by climate
      products, accounting platforms, and embedded climate flows to make carbon
      action programmable.
