AGL Energy Limited (ASX:AGL) is Australia's oldest listed company — founded in Sydney in 1837 as the Australian Gas Light Company — and one of the country's largest integrated energy businesses, retailing electricity, gas, broadband and mobile to roughly four million customer accounts while owning the nation's largest electricity generation portfolio (Bayswater and Loy Yang A coal, gas peakers, hydro, wind, utility-scale solar and grid-scale batteries). It sits at both ends of the Australian value chain: generator and wholesale market participant in the NEM, and the retailer of record that holds the customer relationship, the billing account and the metering data. Its API posture is entirely a product of regulation, not of product strategy. AGL publishes no public developer portal and no self-serve API programme — apideveloper.agl.com.au resolves through Akamai but returns HTTP 403 to every anonymous client, and agl.com.au itself is bot-blocked at 403. What AGL does expose is the Consumer Data Right: it is a designated CDR energy data holder, listed on the CDR Register under brand "AGL" with public base URI https://public.cdr.agl.com.au, and that surface is real and verified — GET /cds-au/v1/discovery/status and /cds-au/v1/discovery/outages both return HTTP 200 with conformant Consumer Data Standards envelopes, and AGL's own outage notices describe scheduled downtime of the "AGL CDR Consent flow". Its energy plan Product Reference Data is genuinely open and anonymous — 1,343 plans at https://cdr.energymadeeasy.gov.au/agl/cds-au/v1/energy/plans — but that endpoint is operated centrally by the Australian Energy Regulator, not by AGL, which is the structural difference from CDR banking where every bank serves its own PRD. Consumer usage, billing, service point, DER and account data is available only to Accredited Data Recipients, over mTLS, under a consumer authorisation, with the base URI distributed through the CDR Register rather than published. AGL is therefore open on product data, closed to everyone but accredited recipients on consumer data, and silent everywhere else — it publishes no open grid or market data of its own. It is also migrating around four million customer services onto the Kaluza platform under a A$150m, 20 percent stake taken in 2024, so the retail data layer behind these mandated endpoints is being rebuilt on a third-party energy operating system.
AGL Energy publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: AGL CDR Energy API, AGL CDR Discovery (Common) API, and Product Reference Data (PRD) API. Tagged areas include Energy, Australia, Utilities, Electricity, and Gas.
AGL Energy’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, API reference, documentation, support, 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/.

CDR Energy API v1.36.0 — service points, electricity usage, DER register detail, accounts, balances, invoices, billing,
payment schedules and concessions. These endpoints are consumer-authorised: only an Accredited Data Recipient (or a CDR
representative/sponsored party) holding CDR Register-issued certificates can call them, over mTLS, after the consumer
completes AGL''s CDR consent flow. The base URI is not published — it is distributed to accredited participants through
the CDR Register, so none is recorded here. AGL''s own outage feed confirms the consent flow is a live, operated service.
AEMO acts as secondary data holder for NMI standing data and metering data, which AGL requests on the consumer''s behalf.'
