Introduction#

Granta MI provides a mature and feature-rich method for managing restricted substances and sustainability data as part of the Granta MI Restricted Substances and Sustainability database. When combined with Granta MI BoM Analyzer and Reports, the data managed in Granta MI can be leveraged to determine compliance and sustainability for components, assemblies, and even entire products.

The grantami-bomanalytics package takes the functionality available interactively through the Granta MI web browser and exposes it as an API. The expected use cases for this package are as follows:

Rolling up compliance and sustainability results periodically and storing these results in Granta MI.
Scripting compliance and sustainability calculations as part of a release process.
Allowing compliance and sustainability to be determined for BoMs (Bills of Materials) stored in third-party systems, such as PLM or ERP systems.

This package provides access to two similar but distinct APIs:

The Granta MI Restricted Substances API is used to determine the impacted substances and compliance of products, assemblies, specifications, and materials against one or more legislations.
The Granta MI Sustainability API is used to evaluate the environmental performance of products, assemblies, materials, manufacturing processes and transport stages.

In both cases, the grantami-bomanalytics package makes the underlying REST APIs easier to use by providing idiomatic Python interfaces and example scripts.

This package also provides a subpackage to help construct Granta XML BoMs.
