name: NGED Connected Data Portal API
description: 'The public CKAN 2.9.8 Action API behind National Grid Electricity Distribution''s Connected
  Data Portal, documented by NGED on its own API Guidance page. Exposes the DNO''s open data catalogue
  — 91 datasets, 8,687 resources, 155 tags and 6 data groups (connection, demand, flexibility, innovation,
  system-and-network, system-planning) — covering live power cuts, live primary and secondary substation
  measurements, LV load monitoring, the Embedded Capacity Register, the generation capacity register,
  distribution substation data and the Ofgem-mandated aggregated smart meter consumption data. Catalogue-level
  calls (package_list, package_search, package_show, group_list, group_show, tag_list, status_show) return
  200 anonymously. Resource-level calls (resource_show, datastore_search) and the majority of resource
  download URLs are gated behind a free API token, returning "Access denied: Resource access restricted
  to registered users".'
