Southern California Edison
Southern California Edison (SCE) is the regulated electric utility subsidiary of Edison International, delivering power to roughly 15 million people across a 50,000 square-mile service territory in central, coastal, and southern California. In the United States energy value chain SCE sits at the distribution and retail layer as an investor-owned utility (IOU) regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission, operating the meters, the distribution grid, and the customer of record relationship that every downstream energy-data platform, DER aggregator, demand response provider, and solar installer ultimately depends on. Its API posture splits cleanly in two. Consumer data is mandated but closed to the open web - SCE runs Green Button Connect My Data through its Customer Data Access platform under CPUC tariff Rule 26 (Advice 3087-E, Decision 14-05-016), and states publicly that third parties need OAuth 2.0 and bulk API capability consistent with the NAESB ESPI standard, but publishes no developer portal, no base URI, no OpenAPI, and no sandbox - a third party must register with a Taxpayer Identification Number, accept terms, and pass a machine-to-machine connectivity test before any endpoint is disclosed. Grid data is genuinely open - SCE's Distribution Resources Plan External Portal (DRPEP) serves Integration Capacity Analysis, distribution circuit, PSPS, fire map, and load growth layers over an anonymous, unauthenticated ArcGIS REST service catalog that any developer can query today without a key.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Southern California Edison the way a machine reads it — 9 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 — Southern California Edison scores 30.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 43/100 (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 Southern California Edison
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Southern California 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 5
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 Southern California 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.
