Canada Energy Regulator
The Canada Energy Regulator (CER / Régie de l'énergie du Canada) is Canada's federal energy regulator, created by the Canadian Energy Regulator Act in 2019 to replace the National Energy Board. Its remit is the interprovincial and international layer of the energy system: pipelines and power lines that cross a provincial or national border, imports and exports of oil, natural gas, NGLs, LNG and electricity, oil and gas activity on frontier and offshore lands, and offshore renewable energy projects. It does not regulate the distribution utilities that meter and bill Canadian households — electricity and gas distribution is provincial, which is why the only consumer energy data mandate in the country, Ontario's Green Button regulation O. Reg. 633/21, is administered by the Ontario Energy Board and not by the CER. The CER's API posture is the cleanest possible statement of that split: it is genuinely open on market and system data and entirely absent on consumer data. It publishes 83 datasets and 944 resources on the Government of Canada Open Government Portal, every one of them under the Open Government Licence – Canada, 894 of them CSV files served anonymously from its own www.cer-rec.gc.ca/open/ tree, all of it queryable without a key through the portal's CKAN Action API. It operates its own ArcGIS Online organization whose 23 hosted feature services — pipeline systems, incidents, provincial pipeline status, resource areas, refineries — answered anonymous ArcGIS REST queries on 2026-07-27, and it publishes an Environmental and Socio-economic Assessments layer through the Federal Geospatial Platform as both an Esri ArcGIS REST MapServer and an OGC WMS 1.3.0 service. It also open-sources the front ends for its own visualizations on GitHub. What it does not have is a developer portal, an OpenAPI definition, an API key, a rate-limit policy, or a single machine-readable path to an individual customer's usage or billing data. No mandate obliges it to have one. Home market Canada.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Canada Energy Regulator the way a machine reads it — 6 machine-readable artifacts across 3 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 — Canada Energy Regulator scores 27.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 8/100 (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. 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 Canada Energy Regulator
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Canada Energy Regulator. 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 3
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.

JSON Schema 1
Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Security Posture 2
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 Canada Energy Regulator, 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.
