Ergon Energy Retail CDR Energy Product Reference Data API is one of 3 APIs that [Energy Queensland](https://apis.io/providers/energy-queensland/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Energy Plans, Product Reference Data, Consumer Data Right, Tariffs, and Regulated Prices. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, an API reference, and API documentation.

The unauthenticated Consumer Data Right Product Reference Data surface for Energy Queensland's retail brand, Ergon Energy Retail - Get Generic Plans and Get Generic Plan Detail from the Consumer Data Standards CDR Energy API. In CDR energy, unlike CDR banking, generic plan data is not served by the data holder's own host: it is served centrally by the Australian Energy Regulator's Energy Made Easy CDR host under a per-brand path, and the ACCC CDR Register exposes that path as productBaseUri from register version x-v 2 onwards. Confirmed live 2026-07-27: GET /cds-au/v1/energy/plans with header x-v 1 returned HTTP 200 and meta.totalRecords 36 with meta.totalPages 36; the first record is planId ERG1064038RRE1@EME, brand "ergon", brandName "Ergon Energy", fuelType ELECTRICITY, type REGULATED, geography.distributors ["Ergon"] with several hundred regional Queensland postcodes. Plan detail requires x-v 3 or higher - x-v 1 returns urn:au-cds:error:cds-all:Header/UnsupportedVersion with HTTP 406, x-v 3 returns HTTP 200. The plan type is worth noting: Ergon Energy Retail sells Queensland government notified prices in regional Queensland, so these 36 plans are REGULATED rather than MARKET offers. No API key, no signup and no accreditation is needed to call it.
