Con Edison
Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (CECONY, trading as Con Edison) is the investor-owned electric, gas and steam utility that serves New York City and Westchester County, and together with its sibling Orange & Rockland Utilities (ORU) forms the regulated utility core of Consolidated Edison, Inc. It is a wires-and-pipes distribution utility rather than a competitive retailer: it owns and operates the distribution system, meters the customer and bills the customer, while wholesale energy markets are run by NYISO and competitive supply is sold by ESCOs. It is rate-regulated by the New York State Public Service Commission. Its API posture is the most interesting in the United States sample because both halves are real and they are gated completely differently. On the consumer side Con Edison runs a genuine, verified Green Button Connect My Data implementation — the NAESB REQ.21 ESPI standard, branded "Share My Data" — with a live production base URI at https://api.coned.com/gbc/espi/1_1 that answers anonymously with HTTP 401 "Unauthorized. Access token is missing or invalid.", a publicly downloadable 37-path Swagger 2.0 definition ("DCX GBC API V2"), a public Postman collection titled "GBC Certification Third party V3.3", OAuth 2.0 authorization-code and client-credentials flows, ESPI functional-block scopes, batch and real-time interval endpoints, and a 35-page technical onboarding document last revised 2026-05-07. The United States has no federal energy consumer data right; Con Edison's adoption sits under New York PSC supervision (the Joint Utilities DSIP proceeding, Case 16-M-0411, in which it committed to implement the first phase of GBC by end of 2017, the Data Access Framework in Case 20-M-0082, and a Customer Data Access Tariff) rather than under a statutory mandate like Australia's Consumer Data Right or Ontario Regulation 633/21. That data is not self-serve: a third party must register, sign a Data Security Agreement, submit a technical onboarding form and pass 30 to 60 days of supervised testing before production credentials are issued, and Con Edison states plainly that it "is unable to support API development for third parties." On the market side, by contrast, Con Edison publishes distribution-grid data openly and anonymously: the Hosting Capacity Map documents REST API access, and its ArcGIS feature services for segmented and network hosting capacity, EV transformer capacity, 33kV feeders, non-wires-solutions networks and disadvantaged communities all answer unauthenticated. Open on the grid, accredited on the customer — that split is the finding.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles Con Edison the way a machine reads it — 22 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Con Edison scores 47.9/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 28/100 (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 Con Edison
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Con Edison. 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 15
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.

Open Collections 1
Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.
Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).
DCX GBC API V2
OPEN COLLECTIONRate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.
Con Edison Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSEvent Specifications 1
Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.
AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.
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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Scopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
OAuth scopes governing access to this provider's APIs.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Con Edison, 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.
