Voltus Dispatches API is one of 5 APIs that [Voltus](https://apis.io/providers/voltus/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Demand Response, Dispatch, and Energy Markets. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an API reference, API documentation, authentication docs, a changelog, and an OpenAPI specification.

Grid dispatch events for enrolled sites — list dispatches, retrieve a single dispatch by ID, and create a test dispatch. Documented operations are GET /dispatches ("Returns a list of dispatches."), POST /dispatches ("Creates a test dispatch.") and GET /dispatches/{id} ("Retrieves the dispatch with the given ID."). Dispatch objects carry program, market (e.g. MISO), program_type, start/end time, modification_number, optional metadata and per-site drop_by (deprecated) and commitment values. Verified live against the public sandbox, with the full operation contracts harvested into openapi/voltus-openapi.yml.
