GTFO -

  • OpenSky - real-time flight and aircraft info
    • api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/ for 5 day / 3 hour forecast data by city was straightforward, but there were some more complicated calls
    • easy to get API key
  • Atlas Obscura - catalogs unusual and obscure travel destinations
  • Skyscanner (don't forget to display logo at the end) - reached out via form
  • OpenWeather - free tier!
  • TripAdvisor - not available for academic use

Relocate

Carbonight/Karbonknight

  • Cloverly - carbon footprint
    • has easy to read online examples with Ruby
  • CoolClimate API - allows individuals or households in the U.S. to calculate their complete carbon footprints, compare their results to similar households and get personalized advice on managing their climate impact
    • Need to email for access
  • CarbonKit - find model for the activity you want to measure (i.e. transport, electricty, manufacturing processes)
    • requires base64 encoding for authorization
    • I don't understand how to get the data (it seems like you need the model and calculation, but not sure how to use it yet)
