Ontario Energy Board
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is the independent regulator of Ontario's electricity and natural gas sectors, licensing and rate-regulating roughly 60 electricity distributors, the province's transmitters, storage and generation licensees, unit sub-meter providers, energy retailers and gas marketers, and Enbridge Gas. It sits above the wires-and-pipes layer of Canada's largest provincial energy market — it does not own assets, does not run the wholesale market (that is IESO) and holds no customer meter data — so everything it publishes is regulatory, rate and utility-performance data rather than consumption data. Its API posture is the sharpest consumer-versus-market split this series has recorded in Canada. On market data it is genuinely open — an Open Data programme launched September 2022 under Ontario's Digital and Data Directive publishes 40 datasets - 198 individual files, verified by crawl on 2026-07-27; the programme's own earlier count was 18 - as anonymous, key-free XML, XLSX and GIS files under the Open Government Licence – Ontario, covering every open application before the Board (updated daily), current electricity and natural gas rates, distributor service-territory boundaries, the distributor performance scorecard, consumer complaints, and thirteen Reporting and Record-keeping Requirements (RRR) filings series going back to 2015. On consumer data it publishes nothing at all, because it holds nothing — it is instead the supervisor of the consumer-data mandate. Ontario is the only Canadian jurisdiction with a compulsory energy-data-sharing rule — O. Reg. 633/21 (Energy Data) under the Electricity Act, 1998 required rate-regulated electricity and natural gas utilities to implement Green Button Download My Data and Connect My Data to NAESB REQ.21 ESPI v3.3 by 1 November 2023 — and the OEB is the body that ran the consultation (EB-2021-0183), amended the Retail Settlement Code, collected quarterly progress reports and publishes the implementation status register naming 54 confirmed distributors and 6 extensions. There is no developer portal, no OpenAPI, no API key and no signup — just files, plus an undocumented but live JSON output on the regulatory document search.
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 Ontario Energy Board the way a machine reads it — 20 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — Ontario Energy Board scores 47.1/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 25/100 (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 Ontario Energy Board
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Ontario Energy Board. 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 12
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Ontario Energy Board, 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.
