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.
Canada Energy Regulator 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.
Canada Energy Regulator 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.
