Verbose

In the interest of transparency of our methods, data and source, all data used by the API can be described in the response to a request if the option verbose is set as true

Impacts per components

For each component evaluated in a request, the embedded and usage impacts of the component are returned

Boattribute

For each attribute used in the evaluation process, we return :

  • Its value
  • Its unit
  • Its unit when relevant
  • Its min value
  • Its max value
  • Its status :
    • INPUT: the value has been given by the user
    • COMPLETED: the value has set by the API according to user inputs
    • DEFAULT: the default value has been set by the API
    • CHANGED: the value has been given by the user and has been changed by the API
    • ARCHETYPE: the default value has been set by the API from the archetype
  • The source of data in case the data has been COMPLETED or CHANGED and sometimes when the DEFAULT value comes from a secondary source.
