Quick Start - Målbar LCA

This guide walks through the full integration flow in order. Each step builds on the previous one, so work through them in sequence.

Prerequisites

An API key — generate one at lca.maalbar.dk/api-keys
A REST client (cURL, Postman, or the interactive playground in the API Reference)

All requests go to:

https://api.maalbar.dk

Every request requires your API key in the X-Api-Key header. Verify it works by fetching your customer record:

cURL

curl https://api.maalbar.dk/v1/customer \
  -H "X-Api-Key: mb_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

A 200 response confirms your credentials are valid. A 401 means the key is wrong or missing.

Set up supplier factories, warehouses, and sales channels.

Define transport legs between your locations.

Create a product and attach a screening to it.

Add materials from the Målbar catalog to the screening.

Add packaging items from the Målbar catalog to the screening.

Fetch the CO₂ footprint and export results in bulk.
