SP Energy Networks Open Data Search API (v1.0)

The legacy Opendatasoft Search API v1.0 still served alongside Explore v2.1 on the SP Energy Networks Open Data Portal. Verified anonymously on 2026-07-27: GET /api/datasets/1.0/search/?rows=1 returned HTTP 200 with nhits 150, matching the v2.1 catalogue exactly. Recorded because it is live and callable without credentials, but it is superseded — new integrations should use the Explore v2.1 contract above. No first-party OpenAPI is published for this version by SP Energy Networks; the contract is Opendatasoft's.
