REST API Reference

Each of our APIs are organized into groups that combine common resource types and endpoints. Our products typically include access to more than one API group, which allows us to reuse APIs across products where it makes sense. See how APIs map to Products.

Account APIs

Savings Analysis APIs

Tariff APIs

Utilities and other LSE's including their tariffs, where they operate and how they charge their customers.
Calculation APIs

Smart APIs
