Guidance for project

Hello there,
I am working on esp32 and need to measure ac current for air compressor motor which has rating of 14.5 A. I am using SCT013- 100 clamp sensor for ac current measurement.
Can I use it for motor current measurement and need to know how to calibrate it can anyone please tell.
Also I want to take readings on Ubidots IoT cloud.

Beginner in the world of arduino

Link : SCT-013-000 100A Non-Invasive AC Current Sensor Split Core Type Clamp Meter Sensor buy online at Low Price in India - ElectronicsComp.com

Expect the motor to pull up to 10 times the current when starting. Maybe this sensor will manage.

Read data from the cloud? Try again. It's another part of the project anyway.

Thanks for your guidance, let me try first.

The web search phrase "arduino SCT-013-000" finds a number of tutorials, for example
