  Watershed is an enterprise sustainability platform used by large companies to
  measure their carbon footprint, report against regulatory and voluntary
  frameworks, and act on decarbonization opportunities. The platform combines a
  library of 500,000+ emissions factors, pre-verified methodologies, and AI
  agents for data cleaning, analysis, and report drafting. Watershed exposes an
  API for automated data ingestion and reporting, alongside guided uploads, and
  publishes integrations for common enterprise data sources. API keys are
  provisioned to customers via the Watershed dashboard at
  dashboard.watershedclimate.com. Public developer documentation is limited;
  most API access is delivered through customer onboarding and partner
  enablement.

      The Watershed Platform API enables programmatic ingestion of activity data,
      retrieval of computed emissions footprints, and integration with reporting
      and decarbonization workflows. API keys are managed in the customer's
      Watershed dashboard under Organization Settings. Public, self-service
      developer documentation is limited; detailed reference materials are made
      available to customers and integration partners during onboarding.
