# DataNexusAI Energy Scorecard by Country

> DataNexusAI Energy Scorecard by Country is a paid API for AI agents from api.datanexusai.org, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Returns a structured energy scorecard for a given EU country, including ETS carbon emissions share, carbon intensity, and qualitative signals on renewables pace, import dependency, and power self-sufficiency.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.datanexusai.org/api/v1/energy/scorecard/%7Bgeo%7D?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-11
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability datanexusai-energy-scorecard-by-country-04a0a3e2
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up Bulgaria's energy scorecard — I want to know its ETS carbon share within the EU, carbon intensity, and whether it's a power exporter or importer?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, structured energy profile of a specific EU country, combining hard ETS carbon metrics with qualitative signals (renewables momentum, import dependency, self-sufficiency). It is ideal for ESG screening, policy analysis, or country-level energy risk assessment. Prefer it over raw Eurostat queries when you want pre-computed signals rather than raw time-series data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported ISO2 country code returns an error or empty result
- Non-EU countries outside Eurostat/ETS coverage may return available:false
- Payment failure (x402 USDC micropayment not completed) blocks access
- Missing geo path parameter causes a 400 or routing error
- Data unavailability for a given country due to Eurostat reporting gaps

## How this service works

Public data API for SEBRA payments, PTP road accidents, EU agri-food prices, Eurostat energy (+ ETS), and trade/market analytics. Paid data endpoints use x402 (USDC micropayments). HTML docs at `/api/` are free and are intentionally omitted from this OpenAPI document so discovery scanners do not probe them as paid resources.

Machine-readable discovery: `https://api.datanexusai.org/openapi.json`, `https://api.datanexusai.org/llms.txt`, `https://api.datanexusai.org/.well-known/x402`.

Human docs: `/docs` and `/api/`.

## Output

A JSON object containing the country's ISO2 code, ETS carbon metrics (share of EU27 emissions, emissions per GIC), and four qualitative signal fields: ETS pressure (e.g. moderate/high), renewables pace (e.g. rising/stagnant), import dependency (e.g. high/low), and power self-sufficiency (e.g. exporter/importer). Also includes endpoint name and availability flag.
