Genability

Genability is a United States energy-data platform, based in San Francisco and now part of Arcadia, that sells programmatic access to North American electricity tariff data and a bill-calculation engine. Its Signal API — served from api.genability.com and documented as "Arcadia Platform - Signal" — covers electricity utilities, tariffs, territories, seasons, time-of-use definitions, calendars, utility taxes and typical-usage baselines across the USA, Canada and Mexico, plus on-demand and mass cost calculations used for solar savings analysis, storage dispatch, EV charging economics, procurement and bill auditing. Genability sits in the private, commercial layer of the energy value chain: it is not a utility, not a retailer and not a designated data holder under any consumer-energy-data mandate, so no Green Button, ESPI, CDR or other energy data standard is referenced anywhere in its documentation. Its API posture is honestly "self-serve but entirely closed data": a developer can sign up at dash.genability.com in minutes, but every endpoint — including the ones pathed /rest/public/ — returns 401 without an appId/appKey, so none of this tariff or market reference data is openly published, and Genability exposes no individual customer's usage or billing data at all (that consumer-data surface lives in Arcadia's separate Plug/Arc API).

Genability publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: GET API and Rest API. Tagged areas include Energy, United States, Utilities, Electricity, and Tariffs.

Genability’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, sandbox, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, and 33 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.

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/. 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/genability: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
