CE-RISE SEE Impacts Calculation Service

This site documents the CE-RISE SEE impacts calculation service. SEE stands for socio-economic and environmental impacts.

The CE-RISE Solution portal is the main entry point for human users exploring the wider solution and its components.

Available Service Functions

The service provides Brightway project compatibility checks and an HTTP service boundary:

• GET /health reports the service identity and configuration;
• GET /capabilities opens the configured Brightway project and reports databases and methods;
• GET /openapi.json and GET /docs provide the machine-readable and interactive API;
• see-impacts-compatibility runs the same Brightway project check from the command line;
• the container image runs the same HTTP service with externally mounted background data.

Use the Service

Install and inspect the local project:

python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/python -m pip install -e '.[dev]'
.venv/bin/see-impacts-compatibility

Start the HTTP service with the virtual environment active:

./scripts/run-local.sh
curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:8080/health
curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:8080/capabilities

POST /compute is documented so consumers can inspect its JSON schema. It returns 501 CALCULATION_NOT_IMPLEMENTED; it does not provide a calculation operation.
