AutoGrid
AutoGrid Systems is a United States grid-technology company founded in 2011 by Amit Narayan in Redwood City, California, that built AI and machine-learning software for distributed energy resource management (DERMS), virtual power plants, and automated demand response under the AutoGrid Flex platform, selling to investor-owned utilities, retailers, and aggregators rather than to end consumers. It sits on the grid-tech / DERMS layer of the energy value chain - a buyer and orchestrator of utility and device data, not a data custodian - so no Green Button, Consumer Data Right, or smart-meter data-sharing obligation attaches to it. Schneider Electric took control of AutoGrid and then sold it to Uplight in a deal announced 14 December 2023 and closed in early 2024; auto-grid.com now serves only a 270-byte meta-refresh to uplight.com (on an expired TLS certificate as of 27 July 2026) and every developer, docs, api, and data subdomain fails to resolve. Its API posture is therefore honestly none-published - no public developer portal, no OpenAPI, no SDK, no consumer usage API, and no open market data. Its machine-readable contract is instead expressed as protocol conformance, and that is real and still published by the certifying bodies. AutoGrid is a certified OpenADR 2.0a and 2.0b VTN (server) - AutoGrid DROMS and OpenDR Server 2.0, Simple HTTP + XMPP, pull and push - and holds SunSpec Alliance certificate CS-000074 for AutoGrid Flex as an IEEE 2030.5-2018 / CSIP server, tested by Intertek on 12 December 2023 and awarded 22 January 2024. Both surfaces authenticate with mutual TLS x.509 client certificates and were reachable only under commercial contract. The successor surface at docs.uplight.com is real but fully login-gated, redirecting anonymous visitors to a ReadMe dashboard login, and api.uplight.com answers HTTP 401 with "Invalid or no token provided" - partner and customer access only.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles AutoGrid the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, 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 — AutoGrid scores 9.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). 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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile AutoGrid
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for AutoGrid. 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.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

This is an independent, third-party profile of AutoGrid, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
