IESO Reports Site REST API
A RESTful file-access API provided by Axway SecureTransport, used to automate retrieval of reports from the IESO Reports Site. Accepts and returns both JSON and XML, and exposes file and directory listing (GET /files, GET /files/{path}), file property inspection (?status) and file download, with limit, sortBy and order parameters. Every request must carry the query string parameter ?idp_id=ieso and HTTP Basic credentials. IESO documents this endpoint only for the CONFIDENTIAL participant report repository — the guide states plainly that "the recommended programmatic access applies to confidential reports repository and not public reports". Credentials are IESO-issued machine accounts granted to registered Ontario market participants on request; there is no self-serve signup. Probed anonymously on 2026-07-27: https://reports.ieso.ca/api/v1.4/files?idp_id=ieso returned HTTP 401, and the sandbox at reports-sandbox.ieso.ca returned HTTP 401. The same path on the public host (reports-public.ieso.ca) returned HTTP 404 — the open data is not served through this API.
