OPOWER

Opower is a customer engagement and energy efficiency cloud platform for utilities, now delivered as Oracle Utilities Opower after Oracle acquired the company in 2016. The platform analyzes hundreds of billions of smart-meter reads to power home energy reports, bill forecasting and comparison, usage disaggregation, neighbor comparisons, personalized tips, high-bill alerts and thresholds, and multi-channel customer notifications for utilities such as PG&E, Exelon and National Grid. For developers, Oracle Utilities Opower exposes a RESTful Digital Self Service - Energy Management API and an Integration Hub GraphQL API, both secured with OAuth 2.0 client-credentials, letting utilities integrate customer, utility-account, usage, billing, disaggregation, and notification data into their own digital self-service channels.

agent aware

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles OPOWER the way a machine reads it — 5 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 — OPOWER scores 24.3/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 29/100 (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.

How we profile OPOWER

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for OPOWER. 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 2

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.

Oracle Utilities Opower REST API (Digital Self Service - Energy Management)

RESTful API for viewing and managing Opower customer, utility-account, usage, billing, disaggregation, neighbor-comparison, tips, threshold and notification data. HTTP/REST with...

Oracle Utilities Opower GraphQL API (Integration Hub)

GraphQL API delivered through the Oracle Utilities Opower Integration Hub for querying Opower platform data. OAuth 2.0 secured.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

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.
