Xoserve
Xoserve Limited is the Central Data Services Provider (CDSP) for Great Britain's gas market — funded, governed and owned by the gas industry itself. From Solihull it operates the central register of every gas supply point in Britain and runs the systems the market clears through: UK Link, the Gemini transmission system, the Gas Enquiry Service, the Contact Management Service, SwitchStream and the Data Discovery Platform. It sits between the gas transporters, the independent gas transporters, the shippers and the retail suppliers under the Uniform Network Code (UNC) and the Data Services Contract (DSC), with further obligations under the Retail Energy Code. Britain mandated this data infrastructure, not a consumer data right: there is no CDR-style, consent-driven data portability obligation on Xoserve, and no Green Button or Consumer Data Standards implementation. Its API posture reflects that split exactly. Xoserve does publish a real developer portal — the Discovery API Platform, delivered by its service provider Correla at discoveryapiportal.correla.com — where four documented REST APIs (Shipper, Supplier, Meter Asset v1 and v2) expose meter-point-level information including proposed Formula Year Annual Quantity values, current supplier, network and meter asset detail. Anyone may browse that catalogue and export the OpenAPI documents anonymously, but nobody can call the gateway without being an eligible licensed GB gas industry party: every product requires a subscription AND approval, keys are issued only after a contract is countersigned, and the gateway returns 401 for everyone else. Consumer usage data is therefore reachable through a documented API, but only by accredited industry, never by a consumer or an agent acting on their behalf. On the other side, Xoserve publishes no open machine-readable market-data API at all — its public outputs are the free findmysupplier consumer lookup it operates and the Market Domain Data participant list as a spreadsheet download.
Xoserve is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
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. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Xoserve is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
