What's in the REST API Reference Section

This section has the main details about each of the APIs in our Signal product, including their endpoints, and the data structures that are passed in and come out. Our APIs are organized into logical groups that put together common resource types and endpoints.

How we structure each page

Each page starts with an overview of that page's resource type and related endpoints. This lets you know if you are on the right page. Next up is a Data Definition section. This tells you in detail what fields are returned, what their data type is, and what is typically contained in them. There will usually be an example in JSON too. Then the page will have an Operations section that shows the endpoints available and the path and parameters supported for each endpoint. You'll find a number of examples that show the request and sometimes response for common use cases.

How APIs are grouped

The following sections show how we've logically grouped our APIs on this site. We've also included information about whether each API is built into the Data Explorer web application (most but not all are).

Calculation APIs

On-demand calculators (rate engine) for bill matching, rate comparisons, what-ifs, and project economics.

Data Explorer: Partial (Only the On-demand Cost Calculator, not the Mass Calculator)
Signal API: Yes

Tariff APIs

All our utility, tariff, TOU, calendar, and related data.

Data Explorer: Yes
Signal API: Yes

Other APIs

Other useful APIs such as Typical usage and property meta-data.

Data Explorer: Partial (The typical usage data is available to use in the calculator, but not to browse in a UI)
Signal API: Yes
