Amber Electric
Amber Electric is an Australian electricity retailer (ABN 98623603805) that sells wholesale National Electricity Market pricing straight through to residential customers on a flat monthly membership, rather than marking energy up, and automates home batteries, solar exports and EV charging against those half-hourly prices. It sits at the retail end of the Australian energy value chain, between AEMO's wholesale market and the household meter. Its API posture is unusually honest and unusually split. Amber publishes a real, verbatim OpenAPI 3.0.0 contract for a REST API at https://api.amber.com.au/v1 covering sites, prices, forecasts and usage, but the token that unlocks it is generated inside the logged-in customer app at https://app.amber.com.au/developers, so the API is customer-account-required rather than self-serve — a developer who is not an Amber customer cannot obtain a key. One endpoint is the exception: the spec explicitly declares `security: []` on GET /state/{state}/renewables/current, and that grid renewables-percentage feed really does answer anonymously for NSW, VIC, QLD and SA, so open market data and gated consumer data live inside the same contract. Separately, Amber is a designated Consumer Data Right energy data holder that is genuinely live, not merely designated: it is listed on the ACCC CDR Register with a working public base URI at https://public.cdr.amber.com.au, whose CDS discovery endpoints and anonymously-served OpenID Connect configuration advertise the full Consumer Data Standards energy scope set behind private_key_jwt and CDR accreditation.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Amber Electric the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts across 2 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Amber Electric scores 24.4/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 17/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Amber Electric
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Amber Electric. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 2
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
