Alinta Energy CDR Discovery API is one of 3 APIs that [Alinta Energy](https://apis.io/providers/alinta-energy/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Consumer Data Right, Discovery, Status, and Outages. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, an API reference, API documentation, and a status page.

The only API Alinta Energy serves from its own infrastructure that a developer can call anonymously. Two unauthenticated operations mandated by the Australian Consumer Data Standards for every data holder — GET /discovery/status and GET /discovery/outages — which report whether the data holder's CDR surface is operational and disclose planned or current outages. Both were confirmed live on 2026-07-27 with HTTP 200 and header x-v 1, returning status "OK" ("All services operational") and an empty outages array. No other path under this base URI resolves; /energy/plans and /common/customer both returned HTTP 404.
