Origin Energy
Origin Energy Limited is Australia's largest energy retailer, an ASX-listed integrated gas and electricity company headquartered in Sydney that supplies roughly 4.5 million electricity, natural gas, LPG and broadband customer accounts, operates the Eraring Power Station and a large gas-fired and renewable generation portfolio, holds a stake in the Australia Pacific LNG project, and runs the Origin Loop virtual power plant. It sits at the retail end of the National Electricity Market value chain, buying and generating wholesale energy and selling it to households and businesses. Its API posture is defined almost entirely by regulation rather than by a developer strategy: Origin is a designated energy data holder under Australia's Consumer Data Right and that obligation is genuinely implemented — it appears on the CDR Register with its own public base URI, serves the Consumer Data Standards discovery endpoints anonymously, and presents an mTLS resource endpoint whose TLS certificate is issued by the ACCC's own CDR Certificate Authority — but every byte of actual customer usage, billing and DER data behind that surface is reachable only by an accredited data recipient acting on a consumer's consent. Alongside the mandate, Origin runs its retail business on Octopus Energy's Kraken platform (Origin holds an equity stake in Octopus and Kraken Technologies), which exposes a publicly readable partner developer portal with downloadable OpenAPI definitions, a GraphQL API, an external events catalogue and an OpenID Connect authorisation server — none of it self-serve. Origin publishes no open grid, market or system data of its own; the only anonymously retrievable data is its retail plan reference data, and that is served from the Australian Energy Regulator's Energy Made Easy CDR gateway, not from an Origin host.
Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.
API Evangelist profiles Origin Energy the way a machine reads it — 47 machine-readable artifacts across 5 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 — Origin Energy scores 57.9/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 41/100 (agent native). 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 Origin Energy
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Origin Energy. 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 23
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.

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.

RATE LIMITSFeatures 5
The notable capabilities this provider advertises, captured as structured features so they can be searched and compared instead of read one landing page at a time.
Notable capabilities this provider offers.
Electricity and Gas Retail
Sells electricity and natural gas to residential and business customers across the National Electricity Market and Western Australian gas market.
Generation and LNG
Operates the Eraring Power Station, gas-fired peaking plant and renewable assets, and holds an interest in Australia Pacific LNG.
Origin Loop Virtual Power Plant
Aggregates customer solar, batteries and connected devices into one of Australia's largest virtual power plants for demand response and grid services.
Kraken Retail Platform
Runs its retail billing, CRM and customer operations on Octopus Energy's Kraken platform, in which Origin holds an equity stake.
Consumer Data Right Data Holding
Designated energy data holder under the Consumer Data Right, sharing customer usage, billing and DER data with accredited data recipients on consumer consent.
Event 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 3
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 Origin Energy, 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.
