**Provider:** ScottishPower — https://apis.io/providers/scottishpower/

SP Energy Networks Open Data Search API (v1.0) is one of 2 APIs that [ScottishPower](https://apis.io/providers/scottishpower/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Open Data, Search, Energy, Legacy, and United Kingdom. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

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 Recorded because it is live and callable without credentials, but it is superseded — new integrations should use the Explore v2.1 contract above.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.
