Australian Energy Regulator

The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) is the independent national economic regulator of Australia's energy markets, established under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and operating alongside the ACCC. It sets network revenues and prices, enforces the National Electricity, Gas and Energy Retail Rules, monitors wholesale and retail market conduct, sets the Default Market Offer, keeps the public registers of authorised retailers and exemptions, and operates Energy Made Easy, the government price-comparison service. Its API posture is the strongest found among Australian energy regulators and it is genuinely implemented rather than merely mandated. The AER is a designated data holder under the Competition and Consumer (Consumer Data Right) Rules 2020 and it serves the Consumer Data Standards energy Product Reference Data endpoints — Get Generic Plans and Get Generic Plan Detail — anonymously, with no accreditation, no API key and no signup, returning live retail plan, tariff, fee, discount and eligibility data for the six jurisdictions that adopted the National Energy Customer Framework. Verified on 2026-07-27, 79 of the 84 energy data-holder brands in the ACCC CDR Register point their productBaseUri at the AER's own host, cdr.energymadeeasy.gov.au, which makes the regulator the actual operator of the product-data API layer for nearly the whole Australian retail energy industry. The split matters: the AER's open surface is product and tariff data only. It holds and exposes no individual consumer usage or billing data — the CDR consumer endpoints 404 on its host — because those flow from retailers as primary data holders and AEMO as the secondary data holder gateway, behind ACCC accreditation, OAuth2/OIDC and mTLS. The AER's own market statistics, wholesale performance reporting and public registers are published as web pages, charts and document downloads, not as an API, and no developer., developers., api., docs. or data. subdomain resolves.

Australian Energy Regulator publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Data Holder Customers API, Data Holder Operations API, Distributed Energy Resources API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Energy, Australia, Utilities, Electricity, and Gas.

The Australian Energy Regulator catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Australian Energy Regulator’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, engineering blog, getting-started guide, support, authentication, changelog, and 35 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.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

8 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/aer/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/aer to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
