Amber Electric is an Australian electricity retailer (ABN 98623603805) that sells wholesale National Electricity Market pricing straight through to residential customers on a flat monthly membership, rather than marking energy up, and automates home batteries, solar exports and EV charging against those half-hourly prices. It sits at the retail end of the Australian energy value chain, between AEMO's wholesale market and the household meter. Its API posture is unusually honest and unusually split. Amber publishes a real, verbatim OpenAPI 3.0.0 contract for a REST API at https://api.amber.com.au/v1 covering sites, prices, forecasts and usage, but the token that unlocks it is generated inside the logged-in customer app at https://app.amber.com.au/developers, so the API is customer-account-required rather than self-serve — a developer who is not an Amber customer cannot obtain a key. One endpoint is the exception: the spec explicitly declares `security: []` on GET /state/{state}/renewables/current, and that grid renewables-percentage feed really does answer anonymously for NSW, VIC, QLD and SA, so open market data and gated consumer data live inside the same contract. Separately, Amber is a designated Consumer Data Right energy data holder that is genuinely live, not merely designated: it is listed on the ACCC CDR Register with a working public base URI at https://public.cdr.amber.com.au, whose CDS discovery endpoints and anonymously-served OpenID Connect configuration advertise the full Consumer Data Standards energy scope set behind private_key_jwt and CDR accreditation.
