API - Version 1 (current)
========================

You can communicate with the Cool Farm Tool (CFT) using HTTP, allowing applications
or scripts you write to:

* **NEW** Added optional parameter `irrigation_calculation_type`
  which is used to determine whether to use the default or IPCC 2013
  calculations (see: :doc:`calculating`) for irrigation events.
* **BETA** save assessments and use them in the features
  of the tool, for example aggregation or reporting.
  (see :ref:`Saving assessments using the CFT`)
* fetch input and emissions data stored in the CFT for visualisation or further
  analysis (see :doc:`retrieving`),
* send input data, and receive immediate emissions estimates (see 
  :doc:`calculating`)
* pre-fill information for a product assessment (see :doc:`sending`).

Follow the :doc:`../quick-start` to start exchanging information with the CFT
immediately.
