Southwest Power Pool Real Time API is one of 11 APIs that [Southwest Power Pool](https://apis.io/providers/spp/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Real-Time. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

If permitted by the Clearinghouse Provider, its Ratings Providers can use these functions to exchange real-time ratings, supplementing or replacing traditional telemetry protocols like ICCP. These ratings are based on real-time measurements of ambient conditions and will be used by Transmission Providers for real-time grid operations processes, including state estimation and real-time markets. The clearing of real-time ratings may be more frequent than for forecast ratings, but the frequency is the prerogative of the Clearinghouse Provider. These ratings may be either AARs or DLRs.
