Managing integrations and API

This section outlines how to integrate Diligent ESG with Highbond and how to integrate your applications with Diligent ESG.

Configuring a Boards ESG reporting integration

You can now configure Diligent ESG to integrate with Boards so that Boards users can view their own greenhouse gas (GHG) emission data in the Diligent One Platform section. Boards users who have a Board & Leadership Collaboration package as well as a subscription with Diligent ESG can view the following data in the report:

• GHG emissions by scope

Sending requests using API

The Diligent ESG API is the developer interface for Diligent ESG platform. You can use the API to send activity entry (usage) data to Diligent ESG from your internal systems. For further information about how to use Diligent ESG API, go to Diligent ESG - Accuvio API.

For these steps, we are using a Chrome browser, but you can use other browsers with comparable REST extensions.

1. Install REST Client APIsHub as an extension to your Chrome browser.

2. In your Chrome browser, select the Extensions icon and select REST Client APIsHub.

3. In REST Client APIsHub, in the GET field, enter https://eco-api.accuvio.com/v1/{CompanyID}/activities but replace {CompanyID} with your organization's company ID. For example, https://eco-api.accuvio.com/v1/312/activities where the {CompanyID} is 312. In this example, you would receive a list of activities that have been configured for your company with the ID 312.

4. Select the Headers tab, and in the Attribute Name field, enter Authorization.
