Ausgrid
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.
Ausgrid is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
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. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Ausgrid is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
