This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.
Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema,
apis.json,llms.txtand similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.
- Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
- Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
- Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.
Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.
On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.
Full detail: Where this data comes from
Ausgrid is the largest electricity distribution network service provider on Australia's east coast, operating the poles, wires, substations and underground cables that deliver power to more than 1.8 million customers across Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. It sits in the regulated middle of the value chain — between the National Electricity Market and the retailers who bill the customer — and it earns a regulated revenue rather than selling energy. Its API posture is honestly split and worth stating plainly. On the open side, Ausgrid publishes genuinely open network data: twenty years (2005–2025) of 15-minute interval demand readings for more than 180 zone substations as freely downloadable zipped CSV, plus average electricity use and past outage datasets catalogued on the NSW Government CKAN portal under CC-BY, none of which require a login, key or agreement. On the consumer side it is closed: a customer's own interval meter data is obtained through a web form that verifies NMI, account name and postcode and is answered in 10 to 20 business days, with a signed consent form required for any third party — there is no consumer API. Australia's Consumer Data Right was extended to energy and is live, but the designation lands on electricity retailers as primary data holders with AEMO as the gateway; Ausgrid is a distributor and does not appear among the 84 energy brands in the public CDR Register, so the mandate proven in banking routes around the business that physically holds the meter. Ausgrid publishes no developer portal, no OpenAPI, and no documented API of any kind; the only machine-readable surfaces found are the undocumented internal JSON routes behind its own outage map.

No documented public API. Ausgrid publishes no developer portal, no OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract, and no API reference. See review.yml for every URL probed and the HTTP status returned.
Ausgrid-owned network planning and unallocated hosting capacity data is queryable — as anonymous ArcGIS REST FeatureServer layers on the NSW Government portal (portal.data.nsw.gov.au), not on an Ausgrid host. Every feature carries owner="Ausgrid", but the endpoint belongs to NSW Government, so it is catalogued here as Data and Reference, never as an Ausgrid API. Service and layer metadata is harvested verbatim into arcgis/ and live responses into examples/.
| Directory | What is in it |
|---|---|
arcgis/ |
Verbatim ArcGIS FeatureServer and layer metadata for Ausgrid_DTAPR_2023 (8,696 feeder/line features) and Ausgrid_UHC_Data (2,160 primary + 2,120 secondary hosting-capacity records) |
examples/ |
Verbatim query responses, the ArcGIS error envelope, and one response from Ausgrid's own undocumented outage-map route |
well-known/ |
Every /.well-known/ probe on all four Ausgrid hosts — all miss; documents the idoportal redirect-to-error-page false positive |
security/ |
Domain security probe (TLS/HSTS/CAA/SPF/DMARC) and the vulnerability disclosure program |
authentication/ |
No credential exists anywhere; consumer meter data is gated by identity verification, not auth |
conventions/ |
ArcGIS query, paging, format and error conventions; Ausgrid bulk-file conventions |
errors/ |
Observed error envelopes (ArcGIS returns HTTP 200 with an error body) |
lifecycle/ |
Annual NER 5.13A publication cadence; no deprecation policy — the site restructure broke the catalogued links |
conformance/ |
What standards do and do not apply, with the evidence for each |
data-model/ |
Field-level model derived from the harvested layer schemas |
vocabulary/ |
NMI, DNSP, zone substation, DTAPR, UHC, N-1, CDR, MSATS and friends |
packages/ |
No first-party SDK, no GitHub org; community tooling listed |
skills/ |
Two agent skills: hosting-capacity lookup, and getting the interval demand data |
llms/ |
Generated llms.txt (Ausgrid publishes none) |
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Mandate regime | other — National Electricity Rules 5.13A annual planning data publication |
| Mandate status | live-implemented — the mandated interval data files exist and download today |
| Consumer Data Right (energy) | Live in Australia, does not designate distributors; Ausgrid is absent from the 84 energy brands in the public CDR Register |
| Data standard | no standard reference found (consumer meter data supplied per AEMO meter data provision procedures, CSV) |
| Consumer data API | No — web form, identity check, 10–20 business days |
| Market/network data open | Yes — 2005–2025 zone substation interval demand, free and anonymous |
| Access gate | self-serve for open data; identity-verified form for consumer data |
| Auth model | None on anything published; no API key, OAuth2, OIDC or mTLS |
