EIA

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is the independent statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy, created by the Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977, that collects, analyzes, and disseminates energy information for the United States. EIA sits at the measurement layer of the American energy value chain rather than the operating layer - it does not generate, transmit, distribute, or retail energy, and it does not regulate anyone. Instead it compels the industry to report through mandatory survey forms (EIA-860, EIA-861, EIA-923, EIA-176, EIA-914, EIA-930 and dozens more) and then publishes the result as the reference statistics for electricity, natural gas, petroleum, coal, nuclear, renewables, emissions, and international energy. EIA's API posture is the strongest of any organization in this sector and a genuine benchmark for government data anywhere. The Open Data APIv2 at api.eia.gov/v2 is a fully RESTful, self-documenting, hierarchically routed API covering more than two million time series, described by a real downloadable OpenAPI 3.0.0 contract carrying 225 paths and 278 operations, opened by a free API key that is emailed automatically from a public registration form with no review, no accreditation, and no licence to sign. A companion bulk download facility at api.eia.gov/bulk serves the same data as manifest-indexed zip archives and requires no key at all. The split that defines this sector is absolute here. EIA's market, system, and grid data is wide open - hourly balancing-authority demand and interchange, wholesale and spot prices, generator-level capacity and operations - while EIA publishes no consumer energy data API of any kind. There is no Green Button, no ESPI, no Download My Data, no Connect My Data, no consent flow, and no customer usage or billing endpoint, because individual customer data is never collected by EIA in the first place; its surveys arrive already aggregated from utilities and are further protected by statutory confidentiality. EIA is therefore the clearest instance of the recurring finding in this series - a federal data agency that publishes a far better documented, far more accessible API than the regulated utilities whose numbers it reports.

EIA publishes 16 APIs on the APIs.io network, including AEO API, COAL API, CRUD IMPORTS API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Energy, United States, Energy Markets, Electricity, and Natural Gas.

EIA’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, signup flow, developer console, tooling, API reference, and 37 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/.

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 github.com/api-evangelist/eia: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
