Energy Information Administration

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is committed to its free and open data by making it available through an Application Programming Interface (API) and its open data tools. The EIA Open Data API v2 is multi-faceted and contains time-series datasets organized by the main energy categories, including electricity, natural gas, petroleum, coal, nuclear, renewables, total energy, international energy statistics, the State Energy Data System (SEDS), and CO2 emissions aggregates.

Energy Information Administration publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including CO2 Emissions API, Coal API, Discovery API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Energy, Federal-Government, and Open Data.

Energy Information Administration’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector 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/.
