Powershop
Powershop is an Australian retail energy brand selling electricity in New South Wales, Victoria, south-east Queensland and South Australia, and gas in New South Wales and Victoria. It is operated by Powershop Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 41 154 914 075), a wholly owned Shell Energy Australia business since Shell completed its acquisition from Meridian Energy in February 2022. Powershop sits at the retail end of the energy value chain — it buys wholesale, bills the customer, and owns the customer relationship — and is known for its "Powerpacks" prepay purchasing model, GreenPower add-on, and EV Day/EV Night plans. Its API posture is entirely regulatory, not commercial: Powershop publishes NO first-party developer portal, no API keys, and no self-serve documentation, and has publicly said since 2017 that it has no public API. What it does have is a verified Consumer Data Right (CDR) energy implementation. Powershop is a designated CDR energy data holder listed live on the ACCC CDR Register with a public base URI of https://public.cdr.powershop.com.au, which returns standards-conformant Consumer Data Standards responses for /cds-au/v1/discovery/status and /cds-au/v1/discovery/outages without authentication. Its Generic Tariff (plan) data is served openly and anonymously from the Australian Energy Regulator's Energy Made Easy CDR host, where 482 Powershop electricity and gas plans are retrievable with no credentials at all. The customer-level data the mandate actually exists to unlock — accounts, billing, invoices, payment schedules, concessions, plus AEMO-sourced metering, NMI standing and DER register data — is real, documented, and reachable only by an accredited data recipient acting on an authenticated consumer consent. Open tariff data, closed consumer data: a mandate that was implemented, not merely claimed.
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 Powershop the way a machine reads it — 15 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 — Powershop scores 46.9/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 24/100 (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 Powershop
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Powershop. 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 9
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 2
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 COLLECTIONSecurity 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 Powershop, 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.
