info:
  title: API Evangelist enhancements for Northern Powergrid Open Data Explore API v2.0
  version: 1.0.0
extends: openapi/northern-powergrid-open-data-explore-api-v2-0-openapi.json
x-apievangelist:
  generated: '2026-07-27'
  method: generated
  source: >-
    Enhancements derived from the provider's reference documentation and live probes on 2026-07-27.
    This overlay never mutates the harvested spec.
  rationale: >-
    v2.0 is the superseded major version. It is still served and still publishes its own OpenAPI, so
    it is catalogued separately — but consumers should be told, in the machine-readable document,
    that a stable successor exists at /api/explore/v2.1, what changed, and that responses from this
    version carry a deprecation header.

    x-migration-notes: >-
      Moving to v2.1 is not a no-op. /datasets/{id}/aggregates and /datasets/{id}/query were removed
      and folded into the records endpoint; output schemas changed for getDatasets, getDataset,
      getRecords and getRecord; date functions now return integers rather than strings; date
      aggregation keys are ISO-format rather than timestamps; XLSX replaced XLS; CSV exports emit a
      BOM by default; and grouping by geo fields is deprecated in favour of geo_cluster().
    x-alias-url: https://northernpowergrid.opendatasoft.com/api/v2/swagger.json
    x-alias-note: The document served at the legacy /api/v2/swagger.json alias is byte-identical to this one.
