Gold Standard carbon-credit registry: certified offset/removal projects and issued credits (serials, vintages, retirement status) for ESG and offset sourcing.

What is Gold Standard?

Gold Standard is a leading voluntary carbon-credit standard and registry of record. This connector reads its public API for certified emission-reduction and removal projects (type, methodology, country, SDGs, crediting periods, developer) and issued carbon credits (serial numbers, vintages, batch and credit-number ranges, retirement and transfer status) — useful for ESG reporting, offset sourcing, and verifying carbon-credit provenance. No credentials required.
