# SiteCheck Trade & Energy – Verra VCS Registry Search

> SiteCheck Trade & Energy – Verra VCS Registry Search is a paid API for AI agents from api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Search and retrieve detailed Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) project records from Verra's public registry by name, country, status, proponent, or methodology

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 sitecheck-trade-energy-verra-vcs-registry-search-f59f239b
```

Example prompt: Can you search Verra's VCS carbon registry for registered projects in Brazil that use methodology VM0007, and show me the first 20 results including their annual CO2 reductions and proponent names?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable data from Verra's VCS carbon project registry — especially for due diligence, market research, or portfolio screening by country, methodology, proponent, or status. Prefer this over scraping Verra's website directly, as it provides clean structured JSON with coordinates, dates, and tCO2e figures. This is the right choice when the user is asking about voluntary carbon market projects specifically under the VCS standard (not Gold Standard, CDM, or CORSIA).

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when search terms don't match any registry entries — check spelling of country, methodology code, or proponent name
- Invalid page or limit parameter values may return an error or empty results
- Methodology code must match Verra's exact format (e.g. VM0007, ACM0002) or no results will be returned
- Status filter must use exact Verra status text (e.g. 'Registered', 'Under validation', 'Withdrawn') or filter is ignored
- Rate limiting or payment failure may result in 402 response requiring valid USDC payment

## How this service works

Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) projects from Verra's public registry, by name, country, status, proponent or methodology: VCS ID, name, status, location and coordinates, sectoral scope, methodology, proponents, validation/verification body, estimated annual reductions (tCO2e), size class, project and crediting dates, registration date, description and registry link, plus total count.

## Output

Returns a paginated JSON response containing total project count, page metadata, and an array of matching VCS project records. Each record includes VCS ID, project name, status, country, region, city, state/province, GPS coordinates, sectoral scope, methodology codes, proponent names, validation/verification body, size class, average annual GHG reductions in tCO2e, project and crediting start/end dates, registration date, full project description, and a direct link to the Verra registry project page.
