FERC

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is the independent United States federal agency that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil, licenses hydropower projects, and oversees the wholesale power markets run by the seven ISOs and RTOs. FERC sits on the wholesale side of the US energy value chain — it does not regulate retail utility service, retail rates, or the customer relationship, which remain with the fifty state public utility commissions. That jurisdictional line defines FERC's API posture exactly. FERC operates a real, self-serve open data API at api.data.ferc.gov, documented at data.ferc.gov with a published OpenAPI 3.0 description, a free 40-character API key issued from a sign-up form, a 1,000-request-per-hour rate limit, and X-Api-Key header or api_key query authentication on the api.data.gov API Umbrella stack — genuinely open market and regulatory data covering the Market-Based Rate Database, FERC Form No. 552 natural gas transactions, FERC Form 556 qualifying facility certifications, Company Registration, Annual Charges, Information Collections Management, and the NEPA infrastructure schedule. FERC also runs a credentialed OAuth2 XBRL submission API at ecollection.ferc.gov for the mandated eForms filings (Form Nos. 1, 2, 3-Q, 6, 60, 552, 714). What FERC does NOT do is any part of consumer energy data — there is no Green Button, no ESPI, no consumer data right, and no individual customer usage or billing API anywhere in FERC's surface, because retail customer data is outside its statutory reach. FERC is therefore an open-market-data, zero-consumer-data regulator, and it publishes a better documented API than most of the utilities it indirectly touches.

FERC publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Data API, Data Assets API, Details API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Energy, United States, Energy Markets, Electricity, and Natural Gas.

FERC’s developer surface includes authentication, code examples, changelog, sandbox, developer console, developer portal, documentation, and 35 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/ferc: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  document on any host (twenty probes, 2026-07-27 — see well-known/ferc-well-known.yml) and publishes no MCP server (mcp/ferc-mcp.yml
  is a candidate tool surface only). Both artifacts record the absence; neither claims a capability FERC does not have.
