Australian Energy Market Commission

The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) is the independent statutory rule maker for Australia's energy markets, established in 2005 and based in Sydney. It makes and amends the National Electricity Rules, National Gas Rules and National Energy Retail Rules, conducts market reviews, and advises the Energy and Climate Change Ministerial Council. It sits upstream of every other body in the Australian energy value chain — it writes the obligations that AEMO operates, that the AER enforces, and that retailers and networks must meet — but it operates no market systems and holds no consumer data itself. AEMC publishes no developer portal, no documented API, no OpenAPI and no open data product, and the corporate Drupal site at www.aemc.gov.au returns 404 for /api, /openapi.json, /swagger.json, /api-docs, /jsonapi and /graphql. It does, however, run one real machine-readable surface that it does not advertise — the Energy Rules application at energy-rules.aemc.gov.au is backed by an undocumented, entirely anonymous JSON API at /api/v1 that serves the full versioned text of all three rule books — 304 versions of the National Electricity Rules, 115 of the National Gas Rules and 65 of the National Energy Retail Rules — with a table of contents, per-clause content, full-text search, a complete defined-terms glossary and links to every published PDF and DOCX. That API is captured here as a derived OpenAPI built from AEMC's own production JavaScript bundle plus live probes. The other finding that matters is regulatory rather than technical — on 18 December 2025 the AEMC made a final rule giving all consumers and their AEMO-accredited representatives a right to real-time data from smart meters, with AEMO required to publish the technical procedures by 30 November 2026 and the meter obligation commencing 30 November 2028 — a mandate designated but not live, and separate from the Consumer Data Right, which is administered by Treasury, the ACCC and the Data Standards Body, with retailers as primary and AEMO as secondary data holder. AEMC is not a CDR data holder.

Australian Energy Market Commission publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: AEMC Energy Rules API. Tagged areas include Energy, Australia, Energy Markets, Electricity, and Gas.

Australian Energy Market Commission’s developer surface includes support, documentation, engineering blog, authentication, code examples, changelog, and 22 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/aemc: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →

  description: The undocumented JSON API behind AEMC's Energy Rules application. It serves the consolidated, versioned text
    of the National Electricity Rules, National Gas Rules and National Energy Retail Rules — every published version with
    its commencement and start dates and its PDF/DOCX artefacts, the full chapter/part/division/rule/clause tree, per-node
    rule text, full-text search within a version, and the complete defined-terms glossary with cross-linked definitions. Verified
    live and entirely anonymous on 2026-07-27 — no API key, no OAuth, no cookie, no CSRF token; responses carry x-ratelimit-limit
    1000 and are served through AWS API Gateway in front of a Laravel application using the Laravel data/links/meta envelope
    and page/perPage pagination. AEMC publishes no documentation, terms of use, SLA, versioning or deprecation policy for
    it, and no OpenAPI — the specification in this repository is derived by API Evangelist from AEMC's own production client
    bundle plus live probes of every route, with the HTTP status of each probe recorded in x-evidence. Every path is keyed
    by the rule version id rather than the human-facing version number.
