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.
