The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, and a support channel.

The Opendatasoft Explore API v2.1 served from the SSEN Transmission Open Data Portal, exposing 60 CC BY 4.0 transmission datasets — Electricity Ten Year Statement circuits and fault levels, ground investigation points and related network records — through 16 read-only GET endpoints for catalog search, dataset records, facets and exports (CSV, Parquet, GPX, DCAT). Verified anonymously; an optional apikey query parameter exists for private datasets.
