Tesla Energy
Tesla Energy is Tesla's solar generation and battery storage business unit, encompassing residential Powerwall, utility-scale Megapack, retrofit solar panels, and the Solar Roof. The Fleet API exposes energy_sites endpoints that let partners and owners read live power, calendar history, and site info, and write backup reserve, operation mode (self_consumption, backup, autonomous), storm mode, time-of-use settings, and off-grid vehicle charging reserve — the same control surface that powers the Tesla app and integrators like Autobidder, Tesla Electric (virtual power plant), and third-party home energy dashboards.
Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.
API Evangelist profiles Tesla Energy the way a machine reads it — 44 machine-readable artifacts across 10 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 — Tesla Energy scores 67.9/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). 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 Tesla Energy
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Tesla 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 10
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.
Tesla Energy Backup API
Backup reserve threshold for Powerwall sites
Tesla Energy History API
Historical energy production, consumption, and battery flow
Tesla Energy Live Status API
Real-time power, state-of-charge, and grid status for an energy site
Tesla Energy Off Grid Charging API
Reserve threshold for EV charging when the site is islanded from the grid
Tesla Energy Operation API
Operation mode — self_consumption, backup, or autonomous
Tesla Energy Products API
Discover energy_sites and other products owned by the authenticated account
Tesla Energy Programs API
Virtual power plant and grid-services program participation
Tesla Energy Site Info API
Static configuration of an energy site (components, address, time zone)
Tesla Energy Storm Mode API
Pre-charge Powerwall to 100% ahead of severe weather alerts
Tesla Energy Time Of Use API
Tariff schedule, peak/off-peak rate plans, and TOU optimization

Open Collections 1
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, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

OPEN COLLECTIONPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
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.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Semantic Vocabularies 1
JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

JSON-LDSpectral Rules 2
Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

JSON SCHEMAExamples 2
Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.
Example request and response payloads for these APIs.
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.

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.
